I recently got a new primary care physician and dermatologist. Both of those doctors were about my age so it made sense they retired around the same time I did.

[MichaelG]

Fortunately my new ones are good. My former primary care doctor was a jazz pianist so we bonded over music; I even saw him once at the big NAMM trade show!

[MichaelG]

My new primary care doctor is from Detroit so we bond over that. Not quite as good as the music but she's a fine doctor.

My rheumatologist says he's not retiring any time soon; he's the oldest of my current crew. I wouldn't think my dentist or optometrist would be retiring soon either given their ages.

Freddie, even though Nobody's Side sounds like it has good advice, taking advice from Florence about anything other than chess doesn't seem all that wise to me.

Our last film class is tonight - it's supposed to be Gold Diggers of 1933, unless he changes his mind.

[MichaelG]

My wife and I will miss this class. Stanford's moving it online, and we both had enough "Zoom for fun" during the pandemic to last a lifetime.

LOL!  That's probably why back in the 1980's, I never paid attention to the wisdom that's in the lyric - which is probably more Tim Rice's wisdom than Florence's.  I'd never really looked at the lyric back then. 

At least from what I've followed of the various plots, the irony might be that she rattled off these carefully scanned and rhymed rules, but "violates" just about all of them.

And maybe part of the reason I'd never really looked at the lyric back then was there was no internet yet.
