I’ve played some interesting gigs in my time, but yesterday was my first ever surprise wedding engagement. I pretended to be busking by the water when this beautiful couple walked up and he proposed while I sang Faithfully by Journey. At least that was the plan. He proposed before I could finish the first song. I don’t think she minded. Congratulations and best wishes to Megan and Kevin! Thanks for letting me be part of your special moment. #proposalsinger #imforeveryoursfaithfully #singersongwriter #weddingpartiesanything #availableforhire (at Harbor Island Drive Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_IOCTn4kx/?igshid=7nby5tii4q08

Trying to understand General Relativity usually makes my brain hurt, but after listening to @profbriancox explain it, it makes a little more sense. Thanks for making the complex science more accessible, Professor Cox. #generalrelativity #cosmology #physicsisphun #somethingneweveryday #universal #briancox (at Balboa Theatre - San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx4bUgaHhc6/?igshid=qovl4pb50g5

This is the spot where I really fell in love with Paris. Sitting on the banks of the Île de la Cité watching the sunset cast it’s fading light on Notre Dame, drinking a beer, and meditating on life, Paris began to reveal itself to me. It was a perfect moment. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to visit Paris several more times and make a number of friends there. Each time I visit, I try to take a moment to take in my favorite view in my favorite city. It’s sad to think that this view no longer exists. I’m heartbroken for my friends and the people of France. At the same time, I’m reminded that things constantly change. There have been fires before in Notre Dame’s 850 year history. It has been damaged before. Yet it still stands. It may not be the same, but it will still be there. #longmayitstand #parisjetaime #notredamedeparis #notredame #paris #souvenir (at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVskV2nnbo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=183i6zvicjy8k
