I heard a song from the speaker of a passing car

I had a really nice birthday. Day at the MFA with Degas' nudes, dinner with my family at Bergamot. The week since has been mixed, but I read Sean O'Brien's The Drowned Book (2007) and Irmgard Keun's The Artificial Silk Girl (Die kunstseidene Mädchen, 1932) and I've got three-quarters of Edward Petherbridge's Slim Chances and Unscheduled Appearances (2011) to go; I am not without really well-written diversions.

Happy Sovay Day.

Thank you. And I got to skip it being on Yom Kippur this year.

Hold someone up on the road. If they can tell you a story, you can let them go.

Thank you! It was Sunday—I'm behind on my social media—but it was very good.

You had a good day for it. In your honor, all of western Massachusetts went apple picking, or so it seems.

The purchase of honey should also have been required.

re: your subject line, the tall one's former girlfriend used to have a thing she'd do if someone had their car stereo on really loud. She'd yell, "Turn it up; I love that song!"

I like that as a form of tribute. My brother went apple-picking the week before; hence I made a lot of things with baked apple.

Honey for the new year.

Turn it up; I love that song!"

I'm delighted to hear this.

I hope the better things and qualities have been turned up high in the mixing of your week.

It was honestly a pretty terrible week, ditto most of the weekend. But I'm hoping for the future.
