Well, you've read the notes, the notes twiddled, piddled, and resolved, and now it is time for you to post until the twiddling cows come home.

Listening to the first of the Pfitzner operas - it's just fantastic - this guy was brilliant and must listen to his orchestral stuff again. This one's called Die Rose vom Liebesgarten.

I now seem to have gained back four hundred gigs of space. Amazing how fast everything is working now.

DR TCB. I was very moved by your comments last night. I am sorry about the retirement of your physician. Good for you for telling him your truth. I am sure that meant a lot to him.

DR vixmom's late-night typing always gives me great pleasure. But I do hope that she got some quality sleep in the end.

DR George, about that jacket, according to Amazon, it's not a woman's leather jacket:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W92ZXVM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I did miss this in the Product Description:
Buttons & zippers may vary depending on the availability of the same during tailoring of the jacket.

I looked at Macys leather coats and jackets, but they are mostly out of my price range, $600-195, and I did not like the ones that were.
