Thanks a bunch.  How am I going to get to work without a car-engine?
I can't coast downhill indefinitely.

Organized, disorganized, natural, mechanical, random, and forced sound.
There's no way to prove that any of it is or isn't music.  This is one
of the "grey" areas of life, and I think it should remain that way.  It's
more interesting and creates more diversity.

I rest in my bedroom, my family room, and my kitchen.  Do I have to look at
that as one big rest? Isn't it just as valid to call it a series of three
rests? I can look at a group of youngsters and think of them as something
other than one big kid.

I think I'll find a room to lie down in now.
