Four!

Four?

John G. · « **Reply #92 on:** January 05, 2026, 07:22:10 PM »

Where is everyone?

John G. · « **Reply #93 on:** January 05, 2026, 07:22:42 PM »

Out there, like Eliza and Singdaw on the ice?

John G. · « **Reply #94 on:** January 05, 2026, 07:23:03 PM »

What am I, Sondheim all of a sudden?

John G. · « **Reply #95 on:** January 05, 2026, 07:23:47 PM »

Certainly working on my monologue skills here.

I got such a touching note from a former Times reporter, under whose articles I'd written a lot of my comments in the form of lyrics for several years. The former Times reporter is recalling part of the time of the late Tatiana Schlossberg as a Times reporter (taken from the world so young). I redacted some parts that identified the reporter by name.

"Dear Freddie,

[ ... ] here — we were in touch when I used to write the New York Today column at NYT. It’s been a long time and I hope you are doing well.

As I’m sure you remember, Tatiana wrote the column just before I did — teaching me everything I needed to know to thrive — and revisiting her wonderful work has brought a smile these last few days. Though it was a decade ago, I so fondly remember the songs you used to write us in the comments section, and how much we looked forward to reading them each day as we finished our very early morning shifts.

Are there any particular favorites you wrote about Tatiana or her columns that you can send to me? (They’re all on her author page from 2015-16, comments still intact.) I’m writing to her family and would love to try to include.

Wishing you all my best for 2026 and would love to hear how you’re doing. [ ... ] "

That’s very nice, Freddie.

John G. · « **Reply #98 on:** January 05, 2026, 07:34:44 PM »

Has anyone seen The Last Showgirl? Any thoughts?

Gratuitous post 100!

At two-thirty, I sat on the couch for a few minutes before returning to writing.

Next thing I know it's six-thirty.

bk · « **Reply #103 on:** January 05, 2026, 07:52:17 PM »

I really must spend the rest of the evening writing.

bk · « **Reply #104 on:** January 05, 2026, 07:52:30 PM »

I was hoping to watch something but that's a no-go.

bk · « **Reply #105 on:** January 05, 2026, 07:53:00 PM »

I did wake up to an unexpected e-mail and a very nice one at that - more in the notes about that.

John G. · « **Reply #106 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:20:42 PM »

Good night, all.

singdaw · « **Reply #107 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:37:25 PM »

Good night, DR John G.

singdaw · « **Reply #108 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:38:03 PM »

That's very touching, DR Freddie. How nice to think that your work can help lift a hurting family's spirits.

singdaw · « **Reply #109 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:38:26 PM »

I managed to make it home before the roads got bad.

singdaw · « **Reply #110 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:38:36 PM »

So I am thankful for that.

singdaw · « **Reply #111 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:39:12 PM »

And everyone's good wishes.

singdaw · « **Reply #112 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:39:23 PM »

It's funny; I hardly go out anymore.

singdaw · « **Reply #113 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:39:33 PM »

I am happy being at home.

singdaw · « **Reply #114 on:** January 05, 2026, 08:50:30 PM »

Just a polite reminder that if you do not put your wind instruments away after use, they will attract flute flies.

singdaw · « **Reply #115 on:** January 05, 2026, 09:06:28 PM »

Good night, friends.

singdaw · « **Reply #116 on:** January 05, 2026, 09:06:35 PM »

And others.

What is this page four malarkey?

bk · « **Reply #118 on:** January 05, 2026, 09:08:23 PM »

I'd like to write another four pages myself, frankly. And that will be my goal.

Had a small Togo's pastrami for the evening sandwich.
