I've spent the week listening to a lot of his cool jazz albums (turns out I have a lot of them!). Downbeat is one fav.
2 Behind the scenes in the White House
Fascinating description from The New Yorker.

This is a supercool movie screenshot search engine! Just what you needed to know!

1 Perseverance on The Red Planet
The Perseverance lands successfully on Mars.
2 The catchiest theme song of all time (apparently)
3 Texas is going through surreal winter hell
I enjoyed this piece from Austin Texas, sorry Austin Kleon on what living in Texas is like.
4 The old ways
Austin also had this great interview with his grandma (who died recently - in her mid 90s).
Overtime: Autumn Leaves
I've spent a few days listening to Miles Davis' hard bop late 50's, early 60's albums and Autumn leaves was a standout. It's from his album with Cannonball Adderley - 1958's Somethin' Else.
1 Cape Kidnappers
During the week I was on a school trip to Cape Kidnappers - one of the students was impatient for the next stage of things (How long are we here for? When does lunch finish? etc) so I suggested he look around and enjoy his surroundings. For instance the clouds. He then proceeded to look up and tell me the names of all the clouds we could see. It was great! He'd love this cloud atlas.
2 Rest in supreme peace Mary Wilson
Mary is the classy one on the left - she'll always be linked to her time as one of the Supremes.
3 The easy way

Seth Godin makes a great point about taking the easy pathway ...or not.
This is great - Laura Olin alerted me to this (from Swiss Miss' blog - check it out below) on her own newsletter/blog thingy. Cruise some of the world's most famous city streets and listen to street noise or the local radio (London has three choices of radio - sadly no Radio 2 but you can't have everything!)
Loads of great items on the Swiss Miss blog.
Overtime: Keep going

This is the first photo that came upin Unsplash when I typed in 300. Pretty appropriate - sunrise on a new day and a fresh horizon coming into view. Three hundred weeks/posts on JFTT is worth celebrating!

After a lengthy absence, he's back in my inbox with his Five Things newsletter - what's that? Oh. You're welcome!
