   I don’t like football, or other sports, either, Lennie. Never have. It used to mystify me how people could get so emotionally worked up over a ball game. I concluded it must have something to do with aggressive people needing a place to vent and express their more primitive, angry, tribalistic impulses in a relatively harmless manner. But I don’t feel that aggression and never have. I think there are plenty of us around; we just stay quiet most of the time and avoid sports whenever we can, while going along when we have to, so we don’t trigger our more aggressive friends and relatives.

   Dang. I like the cold, but even I can’t tolerate lower than 65 at night and 68 during the day in the coldest weather months.

   Yep, I relate. I’m going to the grocery store this morning, and wondering if I’ll wind up needing to go back on Wednesday because I forgot something.

   I used to drink it with my evening meal for its food flavor-enhancing properties without the night-time caffeine that might keep me awake at bed time. I had both regular for morning and lunch when I wanted the caffeine boost, and decaf for later. In recent years, I switched to iced tea during the day and Crystal Lite at night.

   Calories. No weight loss means they add up to too high a total. I’ve seen so much conflicting diet advice come and go over the past 50 years, I’ve come to the conclusion it really is as simple as calories in, calories out, despite what all the people trying to sell you stuff, including medical professionals, want you to believe.

   Thank you for the correction. I’ll have to do some review.

    In music history, Fanny Mendelssohn and Clara Schumann. Some scholars believe that some of the works attributed to Felix and Robert may have actually been written by Fanny and Clara, but published under brother’s/husband’s names to get around the biases of the time. To my knowledge, no one has proven that conclusively, though.
