I came to the Other Place for baseball and fell into a political black hole. I hope to be happier, healthier and more productive here. Dreaming of becoming an expat to find la dolce vita.

Am I imagining it or did MLB have a "stadium" sound option?
I loved that. No constant chatter but a crowd roar to get my head up from chopping the carrots or whatever.

Wonderful! Many Italians hang at Coffee Bars throughout the day. This is the thing to order when you're trying to keep up but starting to vibrate.

Can you define "alternative" for me? Is that music the Boomers don't like?

You've never felt the rain my friend, until you've felt it running down your back - Paul, the cute one.

Beautiful story. It's getting dusty in here! I'm born within a year or two of your Mom and my kids got a lot of Comes A Time. From my Mom I have a special place for Harry Belafonte, Petula Clark and Oklahoma! As you say, it becomes our Folk. Peace

Same for me and the US. We are siblings, after all. You're the big sister with way more stuff. I pretend to be different and happier with my lot.

I had no idea getting sent home to work due to COVID could lead to this.
Missing the Jays because they play at 01:00 has been a blessing, too.
