THE SHOWER I think most of us appreciate a good shower.

Maybe it's after a long day at work and you just need to wash off all those meetings. Maybe it's after a good jog and you just need to clean up. Or maybe it's just bitterly cold outside and you need to warm up. Whatever it is, showers have an allure that is hard to deny.

While we all love a good shower, I don't think any of us look forward to it like this corgi.

This video is just shot after shot of this little pup hearing the word, "shower" and then totally losing his mind. No matter where he is in the house, this canine comes running full speed and jumps into the shower with reckless abandon. He doesn't care if there is someone in there already, because he's jumping blindly into the abyss to bask in the warmth and familiarity of a much deserved shower. This little guy even figured out how to open the door to one of the showers because he decided some time ago that his lack of opposable thumbs was never going to keep him from the joy of a soothing shower.

I want to look forward to something this much. You have inspired me, you exceptionally clean and tiny corgi. You are my inspiration.

Have You Seen This? Street musician slays with clarinet

THE BIG EASY — Yeah, yeah, we all know that New Orleans is stuffed to the gills will incredible musicians.

But knowing that fact and then hearing that fact are two different things. You can step into any number of jazz clubs on any given night on Bourbon Street, and you’ll probably be impressed with virtually every act. Or you can sit at home on your comfy couch and watch this featured video.

In the video, you’ll see a woman who is in the groove. She is swinging hard, and wailing on her clarinet with a practiced expertise that makes it sounds so easy.

From note one you’ll be drawn in; your appreciation will grow with every second, and then your face will melt off when you realize how incredible she really is.

If you’ve never played a woodwind or a brass, you may not know everything that comes with a performance like this. Lung capacity and breath control are huge factors in keeping your notes clear and loud, and hitting those high notes is especially difficult.

So when this woman hits that high note and holds it for several seconds, you know you’re dealing with an exceptional musician. It means she has worked hard for years to develop skill on top of her natural talent, and we get to benefit.

It kinda makes you wonder how we let people get away with mumble rap and autotune when talent like this exists in the world.

I wish this video were longer, and I wish I had more information about this woman, but as it is, we’ll just have to appreciate the little flavor of New Orleans jazz posted by the Facebook group Clarinet Life.
