I just opened the last box of CDs, box 17 Theatre and Ballet Music * Rarities * Surprises. I’ve been listening to Mozart non-stop for a few days shy of six months. This box of CDs represents the final five days in my journey. And a fitting end it’ll be, too. We’re back to instrumental […]

We’ve had rain and chilly temperatures for nearly a week. Today is the first sunny day we’ve had in quite a while. It feels good to sit in the sun, typing this. I don’t even mind the glare or the fact that I’m getting a little too warm. I like it. I also like the […]

I love sitting here at Panera Bread, listening to Mozart and watching the two old guys who meet here every morning. Well, sometimes it’s two. Other times it’s three. They get so animated, talking, laughing, waving their hands. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them eat anything. They just drink coffee and kvetch, mostly about […]

I can’t believe it’s supposed to get up to 60 degrees (F.) today. And be sunny! This is Michigan. In early March. We’re not supposed to see the sun for at least another two months. (That’s an exaggeration. But it feels that way when you live here.) Today’s selection of music is fascinating, not just […]

It’s 7:30 Friday morning, December 11, 2009. I’m in a restaurant called Panera Bread, sitting in a booth with an outlet in the wall under the table, which makes my MacBook Pro very happy. It can feed while I do. To my right, four guys sit at a table discussing biblical issues. It must be […]

You can call me Amadeus. But don't expect me to answer to that.
