Finding Home

Carl Setzer

Release expectation
Follow the sun in daylight
And stars at night
Listen for home’s sensation
When your heart is right

My childhood spent drifting, wandering the world. Eventually, home became this deep expectation, originally unwelcome. The beauty of the world intrigued me so. Now, living near my parents, and where grandparents spent their whole lives, there’s a rich connection. one whose beauty caught me off guard.

Of Stars And God

Carl Setzer

We are made in God’s image
Glorious bits of star stuff
Pieces of the cosmos

The big lives of small children

An evening with friends 

Carl Setzer

Spent the evening with friends enjoying Mountlake Terrace’s Tour de Terrace parade. A lovely evening with friends I’ve know for a while and some I just met tonight. What a wonderful way to spend time.

And now, Google Music

Carl Setzer

I value knowing what’s going on in the tech world. Yet, there is so much change, coming so fast, that sometimes I miss the obvious.

I subscribed to YouTube Red some time ago. My focus: ad elimination. So much of my family’s video time is spent on YouTube, so it was a prudent investment.

I didn’t realize that the subscription includes Google Music. I discovered this today, so used it as my music delivery mechanism. Music is such a core part of my being, that the way I access it has value.

I like the interface. So far, the selection has been solid. Spotify, of late, has been quite a resource hog. Accessing via a web browser seems to use resources better, or at least more gently.

Anyway, I’m exploring shifting over fully, and cancelling my Spotify account. I’ll be diving deeper into Google Music and share what I learn.
