Reflections on a plethora of subjects…
From Sunbury Books:
“Drawing on more than fifty years in broadcast news, award-winning journalist Tim Scheld takes readers behind the headlines to reveal how history is witnessed, reported, and remembered by the journalists entrusted with telling the world what happened.

Last year I decided to embark on a fun new journey. I decided that I would take the time to experience as much of the great works of the great classical artists as possible.
I began this journey with Frederic Chopin purchasing a 17-CD collection that contained all of Chopin’s works and slowly, but diligently, listened to each compact disc in its entirety. I was a fun and most wonderful journey.

After my last post, I was asked to create a list of my favorite classical works, symphonies, movements, or songs from each classical artist.
What follows is that list.
A disclaimer here is also very important, any list such as this will leave out a preponderance of great music. Also, this list will change probably by the day, if not by the minute. (How does one choose the best of Mozart or Bach – let alone the others?) As I created this list, I kept changing my mind over any number of songs.
Against my better judgement, I also added some film scores to the list. (We can’t take ourselves too seriously.)
This list is just a start. I will have more to add. I have left off many great artists and songs.
All that being said, the music that follows is undeniably, great.

I listen to a lot of music when I exercise.
While riding my exercise bike the other day, I heard a song that I especially enjoyed and started to think about my favorite songs from many various musical artists. (It is good to distract one’s mind during long workouts.)
After the workout, I began to create this list of my favorite songs from a host of musical groups and artists. It was an interesting exercise as I thought about songs and artists.

Today I dismantled my old treadmill.
The old TM wasn’t working well any longer and it was time to get a new one.

I have a bunch of scattered thoughts to share. These will come in no particular order.
My treadmill is basically broken. I can run on it in a pinch, but it skips a bit and makes a loud bang every few steps making it very hard to maintain any type of pace or focus. I have had this treadmill for at least a decade. I have run thousands and thousands (I’m thinking at least 10,000) miles on it. It owes me nothing. I wanted to run today, but it’s cold and snowing… so I went outside anyway.

My goal each year is to read at least 30 books. I exceeded my goal in 2025, but it wasn’t easy for a number of reasons…
