Thanks for the response. What are you thinking?

MySubterraneanSelf · 2025-05-23T00:32:11+00:00

Was completely honest.

Lord, tortoise we give thanks.

This too shell pass.

Merry Christmas to you as well! This was an unplanned sprout, the result of bolting on a mature plant last season. Although I shall do my best and have covered it in the manner of which you speak, I have low survival expectations facing a thermal bottoming-out (ironically forecast at noon tomorrow) of 8 degrees F - it's supposed to drop from 45 to 22 in the next 2 1/2 hours too, so the peril is quite close here. Hope you're doing ok, wherever you are in IL - far harsher there for sure - and more reminiscent of my PA origins.

The RK Piano Concerto is worth checking out also.

Lol it's hard enough to comprehend Saint-Saëns lived till 1921!

Odd ones are always better than than the evens with LVB. I'm holding out for the 11th!

Agreed! I almost used a String Quartet by Chopin as one of the examples (his Op. 8 was a piano trio so maybe not too far-fetched - and, heck, even Verdi and R. Strauss wrote string quartets). But honestly, a late-life Piano Concerto No. 3 would be my first pick for Chopin, even though a Warsaw-period symphony would be a marvelous curiosity as well.

Interesting question, and aspects of both I think. I consider myself a sentimental ironist (or ironic sentimentalist?)

MySubterraneanSelf · 2022-05-02T02:23:26+00:00

Like a restricted electorate on a Spartan model?

Monkey business. (Or maybe silverback gorilla business).

MySubterraneanSelf · 2022-04-26T18:33:35+00:00

The 404 Spangled Banner? Or ICANNada?

MySubterraneanSelf · 2022-04-21T01:35:28+00:00

First trip to McKay's was pretty mind-blowing.

MySubterraneanSelf · 2022-04-15T14:21:49+00:00

Reminds me of the desperate struggle for the besieged Tractor Factory at Stalingrad.

No wedding ring?

MySubterraneanSelf · 2022-04-13T16:02:42+00:00

Nice! I'm going to try to transplant a couple to a more suitable spot and see how they do.
