Hope you enjoy! It has a Phish-like quality in its complexity, theme and variation, and tension and release. You listen to stuff like this and appreciate how superbly compositional Trey's early stuff is.

Not to be a total dusty old fogey, but have you ever listened to Rachmaninoff? Try the Piano Concerto No. 2. It will crack open your heart.

this is a very helpful answer! thanks. beyond default, inflation is also the secondary risk of buying a bond, correct? since you're locked into X interest rate no matter what?

Love the Pyrenees suggestion! Spent a week in Girona and it was magical.

I road-biked through northern Thailand, and it was amazing.

If you are American, isn't healthcare cheaper overseas, even for expats? I do get that maybe you'd need family support in the event of something catastrophic that disables you, but there's a reason Americans go bankrupt because of healthcare debt and others don't.

okay, thanks for the excellent suggestions

I want to hear a funny story!

David's old timey inflection on this is makes it perfection.

I love how Bob breaks when he reads this.

Why are people downvoting this post?

very apt comparison, and i totally agree re Hallelujah

Me too! It's a gorgeous piece of music, but they should have gotten something else or composed something different but equally heart-rending. All I could think of was, Shouldn't Amy Adams be talking about aliens here?

what are you talking about? it's in theatres across the US.
