Getting round two of the vaccine this week, feeling hesitant about returning to normal life, listening to more classical music recently including "classical" radio, SF Opera's streaming broadcast of "Siegfried," and Bela Bartok's string quartets, classical music not being culturally relevant, not liking the culture around most of my areas of interest, failing my first attempt at the Marksman level of the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program, making things too hard on myself, feeling deflated when the going gets tough, getting an acceptance notification for UC Santa Cruz, the closing of Mills College in Oakland, the incredible Netflix documentary "Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal," watching a lot of "Jeopardy" with my girlfriend, and the existence of blue ketchup.
