Moses in front of Pharoah, holding staff with finger in the air. Moses exclaims (caption), “Blood, frogs, lice, pestilence, boils, bail, locusts, darkness, death of the firstborn, and an American-style election campaign.”
Midterms a’comin’, with lots of races kicking off today.

Bolesław Leśmian is a Polish poet I’ve found fascinating—and elusive in translation—knowing him only by way of a gorgeous Tombeau for theorbo by Roman Turovsky.
NOW there’s a short video & reading with Edw. Hirsch about him: youtu.be/1soYINOUmGg?...

We start ‘em young in the Sass house; Progeny was probably 3ish. Now Dr. Progeny is still at it, playing women’s league 😁 🏒

It’s cold and rainy here today, which always makes it worse. Hope you get even a small respite soon.

I have brothers who are twins, and they used to do that stuff all the time. Could mimic each others commercial art style, and a couple times one covered for the other so the other could go on unapproved time off. 😆
I even mixed them up once…took me 20 mins to realize it.
😆 My favorite movie!
“Did you just call me Coltrane…?!”
Like Guignon, it kinda has that French-Italian vibe. It oughta be Italian.

It’s a day where everything runs in double time. Today’s earworm and mood is stoked with French flair and Italian fire.
Maybe slightly feral.

Pause for 7 minutes to take in this bright and joy-filled performance of Giovanni Fontana’s Sonata No.2.
🎻✨
Not much is known about Fontana—he died relatively young—but in his short time during the early Baroque era, he wrote some bold music.
