I’m not really in a writing mood. Here are some videos I’ve enjoyed lately — some are funny, some are interesting, some are good for dancing or singing along with…

• Dana Carvey impersonates President Biden
• MSU vs. Oakland University basketball highlights from this month’s game that was not available on local channels…only ESPN+.
• Mackinac Island in the Winter from a few years ago.
• MSU vs. U of M football highlights from this fall. Adrel Adams, a former student of mine did well for U of M. This game is such a big deal around here that a nearby house had the final score up in Christmas lights this week.
• The book, Anxious People, by Fredrik Backman (of A Man Called Ove fame) was one of my favorite reads of the year. A Netflix limited series version of the book is due out this month. Here’s the trailer which looks promising.
• If you enjoy hiking, mountains, or rainbows, check out this video from Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park.
• David Byrne’s American Utopia is an amazing dance album. It’s also a mind-blowing production on HBO Max. If you can’t access either of those things, here’s a taste.
• An Evening with John Gorka is some beautiful folk music that I highly recommend.
• Continuing with the music theme, here’s a link to the Earl Nelson Singers Soundcloud page; not a video, but some great gospel and spiritual music.
• The best movie I’ve seen lately is The French Dispatch, directed by Wes Anderson.

If you have videos that you recommend, please put them in the comments. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
