I haven't had a lot of time to listen to music and crank out anything (because meetings! [actually productive meetings]) but this playlist is doing me a great service as it relates to today's mental health: open.spotify.com/playlist/2ZY07L1Puk4rSwjOf13u0k?si=bebc59a02ad34c72

Yesterday I learned the phrase "in a walk", "The phrase comes from horse racing in the late 19th century. If a horse was so far ahead that it could slow down and still win, it might 'finish in a walk'. The idea spread to other contexts, where it took on the broader meaning of achieving something with minimal effort or competition."
TIL "get on the blower"
