Every Thursday, I share three good things from today, in the past week, and/or in the week or weeks to come, to focus on what is good. I encourage you to share in the comments your three good things too, if you want. I was introduced to thinking on three good things for the week by Deb Nance of the blog Readerbuzz who lists hers every Sunday on her blog.

This weekend, my wife Kim and I are off for three days together, starting tomorrow and going through Sunday. Here are the three big things we have planned:

Tomorrowland

It is the second weekend of the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium and we’ll be watching some via YouTube all weekend. For those of you unfamiliar with Tomorrowland, in the simplest terms, it is an electronic music festival that started in 2005 and has spun off into festivals in Brazil and in France, where a winter edition is held. We started watching it before the pandemic and while we like some other festivals more now, this was our first exposure to these kinds of festivals – and so, almost obligatory.

The Bronx Bombers vs. The Fightin’ Phils

All three days, the Phillies and the Yankees are playing in the Bronx. The Yankees are, and always have been, my team, but I haven’t always really watched games. This year, thanks to a deal on MLB.com through T-Mobile, I’m able to watch games with the Yankees and other teams all season. Kim has joined me, with both of us finding the game not boring like we once thought. Now, she has selected a team to follow: the Phillies, a team which she grew up with became she lived in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The Yankees are struggling, while the Phillies, eh, not so much. Both teams have off today so both teams ought to be well-rested.

Brass Under The Stars

Sunday night, weather permitting, we will be going to a concert that is part of the Endless Mountain Music Festival at Cherry Springs State Park in nearby Potter County. The park is a Dark Sky Park and often cited as one of the best places in the eastern U.S. to view the night sky. As for the festival, it has 17 concerts in 17 days here in northcentral Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York with musicians from all over the world. Sunday’s concert is one of its free concerts.
