My friend Gary Yost is a truly remarkable guy (you might remember him as the filmmaker and software designer from this interview I did about his COVID-19 VR documentary: https://zdoggmd.com/inside-covid19/ ). These days he's "retired" and spends his time on Mt. Tamalpais near San Francisco, and he's taken me on many a wander through some really magical nature there. He also composes music and makes videos like this one, his latest creation. I got to be a tiny part of his whole process on this and it was beautiful to see it unfold. It truly is an expression of where his mind goes while he's walking in the solitude of nature on Mt. Tam.
If you watch, try watching in 4K on the biggest screen you can find, preferably with headphones. It's a JOURNEY 🔥
Mrs. DoggMD and I hiked up to the top of a crazy temple and cemetery called Otani Sobyo above Kyoto this morning. Pure madness 🔥 and HELLLA G-HOSTS!
My news feed is like living in a parallel universe. First our local hospital set to close two whole wards and an article explaining why the NHS says this loss of beds will benefit patients and while I was trying to get my head round that logic this headline was confusing it ...still good to know that chintz is back. I had no idea Alex Jones was a supporter of floral prints.
(Ohhhhh not that Alex Jones - I see!)
10 days ago I lost the hearing in my left ear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a reversal with crazy dosing of Prednisone by the time the remix of Rubber Soul hits on October 2nd. Failing that, I still have the Beatles Mono Box to listen to. 🤪
