Reach

There are very few chances that arise in life to achieve a dream. Sometimes, the universe puts one of those dreams in front of you that seems at first read to be just outside of your grasp. It is these times you have a choice, give into fear and walk away or to stretch just a little bit further, beyond your comfort zone, and snatch it.

That’s what my wife did today and I’m so proud of her.

A Saturday Soundtrack: Long-lost Gershwin musical found by University of Michigan researcher – mlive.com

After opening on Broadway in 1919 and touring for a few years, its last known production was in Massachusetts in May 1926. It’s since been seen as a lost work of one of the great American musicians.

But, thanks to a University of Michigan researcher, what once was lost now is found. And, thanks to a pair of the university’s vocal students, you can now hear the historic music for yourself.

You do know all these seemingly out of nowhere memes about “Post a pic of you at age..” are being used to train AI and facial recognition systems (some for surveillance purposes), right?

You do?

You’re happy freely feeding that beast?

OK, then. Carry on without me.

The Newest Therapy Dupe? Starting a Men’s Group

I decided to ask the Style Girlfriend community on Instagram if they have their own version of Men’s Group™… The response? Immediate, positive, and heart-warming. Stories flooded in of dedicated friend gatherings, and even a few wistful, “I don’t have this, but I wish I did!” responses.

I was honored to have a small bit of my own experience included in this.
