Parallels
I like the music of both John Mayer and Coldplay, so I found this quote by JM interesting. When I started to get down to the music that really moved me, I realized that it wasn’t about putting your pinky … Continue reading
Favorite Thing: Looking Up
Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? . . . Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass … Continue reading

Hmph
“It is true that America is the country of progress,” agreed Poirot. There is much that I admire about Americans. Only—I am perhaps old-fashioned—but me, I find the American woman less charming than my own country-women. The French or Belgian … Continue reading
Mixed-Up Memories
“But you know, my dear,” said Poirot gently, “people are never like what you remember them. You make them, as the years go by, more and more the way you wish them to be, and as you think you remember … Continue reading
