This is such an epic tragedy. The saddest part of which is that no one knows how to help. Outpourings of help were possible for Haiti and Chile because the tragedies themselves were easier to understand.
It seems like a lot of people are looking to BP to solve this problem. It seems like the question we should be asking of them is:
How can we help?
‘Get Well Soon’ note - presumably coloured in such a way so as to cheer up its recipient - sent to renowned French poet Jean Cocteau in 1916 during a short period of bad health. The letter was sent to him by his friend, Pablo Picasso

Jazz improv piano
I signed up for some jazz improv piano classes at Stanford and was quickly humbled when I sat down in my group lesson beside a 11 year old with a bowl-cut. A bowl-cut, perfect pitch and an honest feel for jazz.
I thought I’d be safe in the “intermediate” class but when they started throwing around B flat augmented seventh’s with flatted 9ths and sharped 13ths, and let’s roll it out with a harmonic line on top I knew I was done.
I’m inspired to work through this class and pick up a lot of the theory I skipped in my 10 years of classical lessons. I love watching faces, and anticipation as people listen and play jazz. Leading notes that leave you empty, as hands dive for minor strokes are my favorite.
