Aye CARUMBA!

I KNOW it’s down here some place.

Coming to a karaoke place near me - I hope.

Why the Hell did you stash the cardamom way up here?

Hoping there’s room in his bed (and libido) for me. [SWOON]

Where? I NEED to go there.

Y E S !!!!

If that smirk means that twink wants my ass I’m in LUST!!!

The art or artifice of PhotoShop?

It’s back for a brief “encore” run at least. I went to the 1 pm CDT showing Wednesday of Yannick, a documentary on the Met’s mew music director. Despite his desperate need for obsequiousness, I like him. He was born and trained to do this. He started as a choral man and seems to know instinctively what singers need. And he’s one of ours: his long time partner has a prominent place in this document and apparently in his life. This Wednesday it’s Porgy and Bess. BTW I was the only one in attendance. Not sure how many if any got to the 6:30 showing.

Well @jjkrkwood you’ve got two hands don’t you?

Yes doctor. Of course I’ll bend over so you can check my prostate. After that you can check me for a hernia. [Swoon]

Guess what he was doing when he was not parsing Dante.

No. Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain is the Kilimanjaro of reads or Melville's Moby Dick if you're a masochist.

Last year I spent months in a hospital bed drooling over Appleby ads on TV while only getting hospital gruel three times a day. Can’t watch them anymore without remembering my frustration.

YAWN!

Me!

Oh what a great orgy that could make.

Now that I’ve been there I should read it again (and this time take notes about where to get the best street food).

But he's only US$1,125 an hour or US$3,752 over night.

And if you stream it from HBOMAX you can avail yourself of the closed captioning. At my age . . .

I’ve a fond distaste for Tchaikovsky. I find his long violin melodies flaccid and saccharine. The operas are especially difficult. FWIW May 7th is also Brahms’s birthday - and mine.

My iPhone6S plus is now nearly 6 years old. I’ve replaced the battery twice and I probably need to do it again. But before that I should consider upgrading. I’m in the habit of getting the newest phone each time with the most memory and keeping it as long as practical. AT&T is my carrier but I get my phones unlocked so I can swap in a local SimCard when I’m overseas (frequently). The problem for me is that don’t give a hoot for camera features and that’s where most of the new iPhone technology is headed. I’ll be staying with iPhones: I’m too old and lazy to learn a new O/S. What would you recommend and why? Thanks

Sculpture? More like a mobile!

Such good friends!
