Reunited

and it feels so good!

Hey, guess what? I found my copy of Alex Ross’ “The Rest is Noise” buried in a laundry basket, of all places. In such moments I think of Thoreau’s stint on Walden and wonder if I should jettison some stuff. But not Alex’s book. I’m very happy, and I apologize to my co-workers for suggesting one of them might have lifted it off my desk.

Now that I think about it, what a wildly optimistic notion. Not everyone is so crazy about 20th century classical music.
