A seven-and-a-half hour piano sonata?

Absolutely ridiculous.

From DR John,

I’ve liked all of her books, some more than others. This one was upper middle for me.

This is my third book by Reid.  So far it might be my second favorite.

Congrats to MR BK on the award.

DR FREDDIE's post from a couple of days ago made me remember this:

I sell a line of plastics.

And I travel on the road.

I have a case of samples

Which believe me is a load.

Every night a strange cafe,

A strange hotel and then

Early in the morning

I am on the road again.

When the season's over

And my lonesome journey ends

That's the only time I see

My family and my friends.

I drive up Ocean Parkway

And before I park the car

My Ma leans out the window

And she hollers: "Here we are!"

It’s going up to 82 today. That means toxic levels of cedar pollen. Oh, joy.

Sending vibes it isn't too bad.

I'm not so sure you should accept that award, BK. You should probably give it to a very stable genius. Just to be safe.

Thanks, Jane.  It was touching to have my parody lyrics remembered by a reporter whose articles I'd commented on over seven years ago.  I see the last time was 2018!
