5-Bullet Friday — December 18, 2020

 [5-Bullet Friday](=) Hi All! Here is your weekly dose of “5-Bullet Friday,” a list of what I’m pondering and exploring. What I’m watching —[World Chase Tag]( ([@worldchasetag](). Who knew parkour could be combined with tag to make a professional sport? [This video](=) has nearly 40 million views and gives you a taste of the action. I chanced upon World Chase Tag on [NBCSN]() ([@nbcsports]()). It makes you wonder what other disparate games and skills could be combined to make something amazing. Salsa curling competitions? Skeet falconry? Handstand hopscotch fingerpainting? So many options... What I’m listening to —[Ya Habibi Ta’ala - يا حبيبي تعالَ - Lynn Adib & Zeid Hamdan](=). Lynn’s vocals are otherworldly. The first comment says it all: liquid gold. This is a short clip, and you will play it more than once. What I’m using — [Ascent Cap in Optifade Subalpine](=). This is one of the lightest and most comfortable caps I’ve ever worn. Though designed for hunting, it’s perfect for nearly any outdoor activity, whether hiking, tennis, cross-country skiing, or other.New word I’m enjoying — Wegan /ˈwēɡən/ noun. Someone who follows a vegan diet, omitting all animal products except for wild-harvested meats. Put another way, a wegan diet is a vegan diet modified to include only wild-harvested meats. This term was coined by KuÊ»ulani Muise of [Maui Nui Venison](), as she, her husband Jake, and their three young children all enjoy a “wegan” diet but struggled to find a simple term to encapsulate it. Hence the invention of this word and “weganism.” Lyrics I’m pondering — And then one dayOne magic day he passed my wayWhile we spoke of many thingsFools and KingsThis he said to me:“The greatest thing you’ll ever learnIs just to love and be loved in return.”— “[Nature Boy](=)” by [eden ahbez](=), first performed by [Nat King Cole](=)And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter.
