You said I got a '90's Volvo and their whole discography

Okay, on an unfamiliar antibiotic and the aftershock of the concert and next to zero sleep it appears that I do not have the mental wherewithal to write any further about movies today, so please enjoy this thoroughly charming article: "Antonio Salieri's Revenge." Shaffer's Salieri has been important to me for twenty years, but I have in fact heard and enjoyed the music of the real, neither murderous nor mediocre one, and I don't see the point of resisting this description: "Salieri is one of history's all-time losers—a bystander run over by a Mack truck of malicious gossip."

I was in Denmark with my family that summer and was invited to London by second cousins who were touring Europe. They were going to see the wedding procession; the mother of that family had seen Queen Elizabeth's coronation procession and wanted her family to have a similar memory. I have a lot of stories from that trip.
