I’ve found a “new” song I like. It’s the theme to the Reebok commercial “Join the Migration.” The singer’s voice is gorgeous, and the song has this alluring, haunting quality. I like it so much I’m almost ready to buy one of their t-shirts. It begins with men looking slowly skyward and includes bird imagery; [...]

The mockingbirds are singing their fool heads off. They like the tops of trees, and one has staked a claim on a scrawny oak near our parking spot, singing to beat the band as I park and let the dogs out for our morning walk. The pups scramble off and begin sniffing bushes — their [...]
