Sorry to find you here after such a sublime experience, Nailer. Your Haydn high is at great risk I fear!

(Try the Schubert too.)

He is a strange, odd, very nice, very kind person.

He is contradictory. So am I.

Enjoy that! The older I get, the more I like chamber music like this!

If there's anything I am solidly for, it is judging all individuals as individuals. Which is not a great feat--even strong racists can do it, sometimes, when personal relationship gets someone past the 'generalizations.' Which is why they often have individuals of the 'bad' race that they happen to know well, and feel friendly towards.

Have no fear, I just brewed a cup of Lung Ching and am having it with some Miles of Chocolate brownie.

I love Raspberry Schubert.

And no matter how old we grow, we can still Zappa.

Living well is an art.

Joy is the skill of skills.

Chamber music by Zappa, sort of, - album "Everything Is Healing Nicely".

You have a knack for finding the essence.

Trouble is, I'm not the only one who can see this. The result will be making a few Muslims really want to 'bait and ambush' too.

A few rounds of that and you'll have mobs burning down mosques around here. Pam Geller and whoever's behind her must be very excited, in anticipation.
