This sounds like my mother speaking? Ma? Is that you? I haven't
had this kind of guilt since you passed away. But it is clear
that your technique hasn't changed. I remember the time you
gave me two ties and when I put one on, you said, "You don't
like the other one?"

And I remember the time when I would go out on a date, you would
say, "That's OK. I don't mind. I'll sit home alone, in the
dark, by myself. Don't worry. I'll be fine .... probably."

Ma, it's good to hear from you again. And if you bump into
Mozart, would you ask him if he would be offended if some
crazy person did K. 622 on kazoo.
