Those small revelations which startle (somewhat)

Today the forecast indicates another brutal heat index.  The comparative morning cool simmers at 74° with 98% humidity.

As I knotted my necktie this morn, it suddenly occurred to me that I (probably) need never purchase any more neckwear, this side of retirement.  Nice to know that the budget will not suffer any pressure at that point.

As I laid out divers necessaries on the kitchen table, the further fanciful thought came to me, of buying my next tie only when I should become A Famous Composer™.

Given the uncertitudes of the artist’s life in these United States, my fame may be achieved (if even then) only after my death.

Should that be, let this blog post stand as a request to some surviving fan of my music, to leave a silk tie on my grave.  Let its colors be joyous.

Perhaps you should reconsider that trip to Florida in August.

I see your point! But, the concert date is set, and the airfare is booked ....
