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

Absolutely ridiculous.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

I have The Tale of Genji on my list of books to read.  I'm not sure I will ever tackle it. 

There is a 300-page abridgment.

From DR Freddie,

Quote
I got such a touching note from a former Times reporter

That's very nice.


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!

Very touching.

My youngest brother, who resides in Virginia,, came up to take over Mom care.

It must be a relief to you and your brother who is currently taking care of her.

Oh no.  My condolences to your sister-in-law.  How is she managing without the full support of your brother?

Amazing Home Healthcare and I had a long telephone discussion yesterday, and I am going to get a re-assessment interview on Jan. 20. Julie, my liaison there, is determined to get me an aide.

That's great, Larry!

A couple of comments about posts from last night:

Kevin:  You're welcome, Congrats, and Great Job for/about your Wordle comments last night! ;D

Freddie, that was a very sweet email that you received about the late Tatiana Schlossberg.


Thank you so much, George!




You're very welcome, Freddie!
