    Finally had a moment to write up my trip. It’s on my blog, because it’s searchable if I want to easily access it again later.

Three days in Madrid 4 Days in Alicante, Spain [image: 1774323160149-img_2549.jpeg] A piano at the Royal Palace in Madrid, early 19th century. It has five pedals for registers such as bassoon, drum, or bells. Or so says my translation app!

    @Rontuner I like this approach to making the expectations clear. I think the worst thing for the audience is when they’re not sure. Anyway it sounds like a great group! I’ll be curious to hear which director you end up with.

    I'd like the lows to rise to 65- 69. The forecasters slipped up and last night's forecast low of 60 ended up being 4 hours at 59. Too cold.

    Speaking of which, I had to charge my phone charger at my secret place for doing that last night. I've mostly stopped eating sugar. I have/ had a sugar tooth. I took a notion to go to the convenience store. I spent $3.21 on an X-Large fountain soda and one creme filled donut with chocolate icing. As if to prove the point, I actually got sick. Boy, when you stop eating this stuff and then you eat it, your body lets you know about it.

    South Korean cars were a revelation to me. I've always liked Japanese cars. I can remember every Honda Civic from the 1st generation 1973 cvcc to my 7th generation hatchback. The 4th generation was my favorite but I didn't own one. I wish the timing had worked. I can remember the 1st generation Accord. My 1997 Accord was arguably the best car I've owned. I can remember the first Toyota Tercel. I can remember every Japanese brand's small truck. Etc. Then Korean cars came along and had a poor reputation. Then they got better and fast. My 3rd generation Hyundai Accent was a tank. I remember being surprised at some point in Hawaii when about 60% of the cars on the road suddenly turned into Hyundais and and Kias. I can't wait to own this one.

    https://share.google/dNvjYz4fQwzA6aRJg New favorite. Listing price is impossible. Have only glanced at the carrying costs. Sill, the market is on a downhill slide. What do you think about this one?

    Congratulations, Dwain! I think I’m going to reacquaint myself with Dan and Greg by re-reading Plausible Deception, and then swing into Sinner’s Prayer.

    I'm going to have to face this set of decisions when I move. For one thing, I'm replacing my 2024 Motorola Edge with a Pixel 10 Pro XL. Life is too short. Then I have to figure out how to get internet and whether I want to have television again. I can't know now what the options will be or how much they will cost so I'm not worrying about it.

    I plead blissful ignorance. I am swimming upstream because contemporary mores in the arts dictate that one must not ignore pop culture.
