Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 69 that former presidents would be “liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law.” But what did he know? He was just a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean. . .

The tune I heard and hummed while working in Italy over the years is now so relevant... everywhere! #SlavaUkrainii #BellaCiao #Italy #USA!

Thanks Freddie… listening youtu.be/LGjt291COa0

@AndreaChalupa (screenwriter) & @BlogHolland (director) #film @MrJones_Film on #Russia #Holodomor engineered #FoodCrisis in #Ukraine in 1932-1933 is about to be screened on the facade of the Russian Embassy in Washington DC here is the link to the #Livestream

Spent #Picklesburgh weekend melting in the Arizona desert, but finished a vintage #Wigle spirit to ease the heat… and sorrow!

Wondering if my #cairn is holding up? Please, let me know if you happen to pass by. #obrigado #praiadaluz #luz

Oh no… not even a week home from #Portugal and the supply of #PasteisdeBelem are almost gone! Should have got the 50-pack!

Happy to #RageAgainstTheMachine on #MayDay in Porto, Portugal… and life goes on.

Once again, the gnome asks me why when we get a drink at a bar in Europe or Asia #YouGetNuts or a snack? What’s up with American bars? #JustWondering

Now if this is not #moneylaundering I am not sure what is… 🤡

Not sure my part will be ready (or worthy) but so satisfying to spend time on this. “The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton…” - Pablo Casals

For some reason when I play I often smile and think of strolling through the beauty of St Petersburg… I fear now I will only think of this lone comrade and the horror that Russia is bringing to he and his city. #PlayingWithClenchedFists #SlavaUkraini

Cello practice will not be the same for the next couple of days! Hope to be shipping back to Boston from the desert real soon.

Especially on this #StPatricksDay Please listen to the haunting lyrics & oh so missed voice of #Dolores with special attention to its global significance. #SlavaUkraini #theyaredying youtu.be/6Ejga4kJUts

❝We proposed to create an association. U24, united for peace, a union of responsible countries that have the strength and consciousness to stop conflict immediately providing all the necessary assistance in 24 hours.❞ – @ZelenskyyUa

From @NPR, "If Russia's invasion of Ukraine feels familiar, look to Broadway in the 60s." A boomer's memory rekindles the mind-and-heart-arresting "Fiddler on the Roof." #Ukraine's "traditional" conflict with #Russia was set to memorable and painful music. npr.org/2022/02/25/108…

This meme has been doing the rounds. It says "go fuck yourself". The defiant last words of 13 Ukrainian border guards on Snake Island in the Black Sea, after they were given an ultimatum by a Russian warship to surrender or die.

Spending some time today catching up on some current music from #Ukraine then its back to the #cello to practice more appropriate solemn sounds for today top40-charts.com/chart.php?cid=…
