Lessons in laughter:

Dozens of you have shared this lovely video with me over the past couple days. And I just love that it illustrates two baby lessons in one. 🧵

#OnThisDay in ’91 Ayrton Senna won his home #F1 GP for the first time. Senna judged a dry-wet race brilliantly, nursing a failing gearbox by keeping it in 6th. Having cried out on the car-to-pits radio on the slow-down lap, he was physically & emotionally shattered on the podium.

Happy Birthday Ayrton. 🎩💗🙌🏁🇧🇷✨

Lewis: "I did three laps yesterday in the morning [...] It's been such a dream to come here and have this experience. It's amazing to have my parents here, my dad, and my two moms. It's been a long, long, long way. I feel like it's the first day of work, the first day of school." 😊 #F1

I’m sad to hear that Ed Hinton has passed away, at the age of 76. A fine sports writer in the grand American tradition, he was very helpful to me at Indy in 2000, when an #F1 GP was first held at the Brickyard. He was a great wordsmith, too (see screen-grab for an example).

Here’s a fun question: Can a darker color scheme make a room feel bigger?

What’s your take? Would you ever paint a room black? And how do you feel artwork stands out on dark walls versus light ones? Let’s discuss!

🎶 Can walls have rhythm?

It can be a tricky balance to master, but when done right, it adds flow and harmony to any room.

If you're curious, take a peek at my online gallery and explore the concept of "rhythm" in art and decor. 🖼️✨
