colds. And I am sick of Trump and his minions -- every day another disaster.

So let's enjoy the art of fine music and try to transcend this moment in time...

The sea rolls
The days and nights go by...

And I live
And you live
And someday we will die...

... I was reading Solzhenitsyn's First Circle the other day, and one of the characters talks about how great Piano Sonata 17 is, and how strange that it has no title.
But the 17th is the "Tempest." Which leads one to wonder if the Russians had a different naming convention. From the character's description, it's definitely the same sonata...
