My SiriusXM presets are 60s classics, 80s classics, 80s new wave, Sinatra, classic country, and symphony hall

Although I possess numerous CDs, I have gotten into the habit of only turning on a radio station called "Classical California" when I want to listen to music, especially when I am driving. It's a "classical music" (e.g., Bach, Beethoven, Stravinsky, etc.) station, hence the name.

what a lovely starter home

A bit of an odd theory, but I recall reading back in those days that those with that genetic mutation may have descended from Europeans who had survived the Black Plague. Why I remember that I can’t fathom!

Specifically Paul Michael Glaser never got it from his wife who got it from a blood transfusion, and one of their two HIV+ children lived because he had the mutation. I think he tests positive but doesn't need meds. I'm not even sure if strictly speaking he has HIV or just the antibodies.

"HIV immunity is extremely rare, with most people susceptible to infection. However, some individuals possess natural resistance due to genetic mutations (like CCR5-Δ32) that block the virus from entering cells. While no absolute vaccine exists, research into these resistant individuals and immune responses, such as neutralizing antibodies, is ongoing."
That blurb is AI, but it references NIH documentation. There is ongoing research into factors that seem to protect individuals. From the earliest days it has been anecdotally apparent that some few individuals remained negative event after repeated, unprotected exposure to the virus. Others contract the virus but never become ill.

Classical, Antonin Dvorak Symphony No. 9 (From the New World), 1991 performance by the Munich Philharmonic and conducted by Sergiu Celibidache, for at least the 35th time. A masterpiece by a genius performed by skilled artisans and inspiringly conducted by a master of tone and tempo. It has no equal. Available on YouTube.

As we approach the 5th Anniversary of “daddy”/ @Guy Fawkes passing, I  read through this memorial thread. So many of you had such kind words to share. He definitely touched our lives and considered us as family.
To me, he was an amazing person to work for. He made it fun!  He worked endlessly in making this a site where we will feel comfortable in sharing stories & experiences.  He truly appreciated all your support. 
RIP  🌹 

I do the same and my dog does the same thing yours does in the evening. But mine does it because he knows that he’s next.
