After a frustrating week-long glitch in submitting my live album to Spotify and Apple Music, Spotify asked me to get ready for my release on August 22.

Although I tried to get ready three weeks ahead of time, the unexpected delay means I won’t have the ideal two weeks ahead of my release to pitch my song to Spotify playlist editors. I’ll get ready to do my best anyway.
Get ready for my other images for today’s blog post!

I can’t observe National Lazy Day because I need to get ready to submit my song “I Left the House Before I Felt Ready” to Spotify playlist editors.
Get ready to hear that song!

Get ready for some gratitude from me!





I’m getting ready to finish and post a piece on current politics that I’m rewriting today in order to include Jamelle Bouie’s division of US history into several succeeding Republics. A brilliant concept.
I appreciate the way you get ready, Barbara.
There are so many books I haven’t read that I hate to go back and revisit others no matter how good and wise, although every time I reread Virginia Woolf’s <b!Orlando I find so much that seems new it feels like the first time all over.
Also there was a trend of videos of cats being frightened by cucumbers so it’s nice to see Joan being cool as a…toy zucchini?
You are the coolest, Chris.
I know you will do your best, Ann, as always.
You’re the best, Mark.
