Rebecca Hass: Pianist, Composer, Educator, Creative Coach

07/24/2026

Last weekend I finally got around to finishing my 2026 bingo card that I started at the TuesdaysTogether Oakland February meetup on the lunar new year! Better “late” than never, time is a construct anyway. 🤷‍♀️

I also added another punch card to my collection to inspire me to visit all of the Berkeley and Oakland library branches, as well as a few other local ones in other systems.

I love the low-pressure way that both the bingo and punch cards add fun and whimsy while encouraging me toward goals and non-work related adventures!

My “listen to this” card is to encourage un-distracted music listening with my full attention, the Libraries card is for visiting all of the Berkeley, Oakland, and other nearby local libraries (a visit counts as long as I go inside and spend a little time looking around), and the Parks card is for visiting new-to-me local or regional parks.

Have you made a bingo card or a punch card for yourself? What did you (or would you) put on it?!

🎂 On Tuesday I turned 43 - thanks for all of the well wishes, it was a lovely day!

I had one rehearsal, but otherwise pretended it was a day off, with a leisurely neighborhood walk to pick up stuff at Fieldwork Brewing (birthday rewards points!), Tokyo Fish Market, and Blue Willow Teaspot, and later, and I celebrated at Bar Panisse, which was delicious.

As I age, I continue to love celebrating my birthday - it’s so nice to feel loved - but the prevailing feeling is always huge gratitude. Aging is a privilege, I’m glad to be where I am, and I have earned all of my gray hairs!

Thanks for being a part of my community - I’m grateful for all of you! 💗
