RIP Sonny Rollins - Saxophone ColossusI have several of his albums.
That drummer and bass player are freakin' epic! The pianist isn't too shabby either.

Next gen GLP-1 agonistsIf approved, I might try this new one in the lower dose to see if I can handle it. The lower dose only provides 24% vs 30% weight loss, but it also comes with less side effects and that would still have me getting to a healthy weight I have not seen in decades.

Off to Orlando@klaus Is there any chance you would be able to make it this year?
It would be great to get as many to attend as possible. I know @jon-nyc will attend. @mik owes me a visit.
@89th, you are pretty close by! The Chicago gang, @kluurs @george-k, Ron, Kris, Matt & Tony, etc.We just had the exterior of the house power washed. It looks marvelous! Now I need to do the same type of deep cleaning inside, maybe get some new carpet in the listening room, and window treatments before the party.
I don't have a caterer for a partner like @jon-nyc does. lol. But we will have a nice selection of food and drink.

Off to OrlandoPiano party at @mark 's place? Tell me more!
Thinking about the August time frame. However, I want to accommodate as many people as possible. When would be a good time frame for you and your better half?
@bachophile are you planning a trip to states anytime this year?

Off to OrlandoTom says heβll fly up for your piano party. Heβs now met two forumites in person and is ready for more.
Cool! Looking forward to meeting you Tom!
It would be wonderful to meet another guitarists in this Sargasso Sea of pianist!
You can pick your weapon of choice...
or, bring your own!

The X...UFO....UAP FilesThe good news is that if there is life, for example in the nearest galaxy (keep in mind there are trillions of galaxies, but if we take our closest neighbor, Andromeda), if they have a really powerful telescope and are looking at Earth right now, they'll see saber tooth tigers and other animals living 2.5 million years ago. So feel free to flip them the bird.
Heh. You said Andromeda. Yes! This is what Andromeda looked like about 2.5 million years ago. Give or take 25 years.

Speaking of apps....Been using it for years. I think i was a early beta tester. Not that I use it that often, but it has been very good at identifying birds from photos I take using the phone.
Lol how do you mistake a Robin for a Hawk?

Android app #2Thanks Mik. I think this one might actually make it to the Play Store at some point. I am thinking about a subscription based pricing model. Keep it very affordable, offer annual subscription discount, etc.
Getting 100,000 people to send me $1 every month would make for a nicer retirement.

Android app #2LOL @89th! Yeah I get it. I have been developing software my entire adult life and doing this is fun. I get very laser focused when developing things. Having a "team of programmers" inside of Android Studio's AI that I can just command to do this! Do that! Fix that! is very empowering. I do review and modify the code but the latest version is very good at just getting it right.

Android app #2The only setting right now is Dark mode. I am thinking about adding patient and doctor info but then I will need to make it HIPPA and GDPR compliant with MFA login and encryption. There are a lot of data points swimming around in my brain regarding this app.
