Tonight we went to our last summer concert at Wolf Trap. We saw Sting. It was a great concert and the weather was perfect. We sang along to all the songs we knew. He’s looking pretty good and he still has his voice. We really enjoyed the concert!

Music Day
Today we went to the Kreeger Museum to hear Kris Dunn & Cornerstore as part of the 2018 DC JazzFest. It was hot but the music was nice and we enjoyed it.
In the evening we went to Wolf Trap to sing along to the Sound of Music Sing A Long. They showed the movie on large screens and everyone got to sing along with all the songs. It was fun! We really enjoyed it.
Between the two shows, I did walk 1.11 miles indoors.
New Home Pod
Today I got a second Home Pod because yesterday Apple introduced a software update that lets the Home Pods become one and play the same music from both. Now I have one in the living room and one in the office and I can play the same music throughout the house. It’s cool. It works flawlessly.
I only walked 1 mile today inside.
Concert and Dinner
Late this afternoon we went to a concert at the National Cathedral. The music and singing were beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Then we went to La Piquette for dinner. I love that place. I had a delicious half chicken while the husband had duck breast. And we had a wonderful bottle of wine. We had a wonderful evening. When we came out of the cathedral the sun was beginning to set and it was the golden hour. Of course I had to whip out the iPhone and take some pictures. I love golden hour.
I walked 1.37 miles before the concert today.
Apple HomePod
My Apple HomePod arrived today. I went ahead and joined Apple Music so that I could have access to all the music Apple has in iTunes. The speaker is really cool. The sound is amazing. Ever song I’ve asked her to play, she’s been able to play. I’ve asked her to play certain kinds of music and she plays a playlist of that music that’s already been created. She will also play any of my playlists that I created in iTunes. It’s what the first iPod Hi Fi should have been. She is limited in the amount of information she can give you though. Unlike Alexa, Siri is limited to only certain types of information. She can give you the weather, what the stocks were for the day, basic information about songs, etc. She can’t tell jokes, or play games or anything like that. Maybe in time she’ll get better. I’d say she beats all the competition when it comes to sound. It really sounds great. When the ability to have two HomePods playing the same music is added later this year, I’ll have to get another one. I’m pretty pleased with the way it sounds and operates. It was a breeze to set up too!
2.26 miles today.
