Inspiration at Starbucks

Starbucks is playing the Nutcracker, one of my all time favorite pieces of music. I can’t say I know much about classical music, but the emotional ride of the Nutcracker inspires me no end.

I’ve heard people complaining lately of the early onset of Christsmas marketing, and it does lessen the specialness of the time when I see holiday decorations going on sale before Halloween. But last night we realized that Christmas less than two weeks away. I’m all for Christmas music and decorating trees and wrapping presents. After I finish this chapter.
