Interesting autocorrect experience today. I was sitting in a newly discovered coffee shop, and made my observations about the coffee and its crema in a family chat group.

Messenger insisted, I discovered later, that I'd meant "the coffee has an excellent crematorium"

Watched him for several seasons with the LPO in the 80s. For me, the standout performance was an Eroica like I'd never heard before. It stays with me, still.

A miniature of mine which appeared in the pages of Dreich Magazine a while back:

Saline

Drops of water cling
to the slip of your velvet skin,
salty tears of an ocean
weeping to see you leave,
shivering with the loss of you.
