Another month has come and gone. 

February was defined by a late month trip to New Orleans. It was my first time there and it was with perfect timing that Hannah could come tag along so we could spend some quality vacation time together at the end of the week.

(A slightly postponed Valentines dinner was well worth it.)

February 2026

The Stats: 13 artists, 20 albums, 133 tracks (153 scrobbles)

A week in New Orleans … less time for music. (Heading home today.)

I didn’t take many photos in January. The world around me felt dark — often a little unworthy of memories. But it passed, and there were some bright moments. Hannah filled a life long dream and met the Hobbits. I filled my head with a lot of music. And now February is here. I hope for better, for all of us.

I never thought I’d see this pressed to vinyl. An absolute staple of my high-school life and adding this to the collection brings immense joy.
