    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to NANCY BACKUS on Friday, November 30, 2018 15:08:06
    I was beginning to come to that conclusion... but then, so is mint
    usually green....
    Maybe it could equally be called mint, then.
    Except that mint actually does have mint flavor... :)

    Pistachio should have flavor as well.

    Sometimes one does wonder about the conductors... and some composers, as well.... :)
    One wonders about just about everyone. One
    of the vocal soloists came in I believe a
    bar early, and we had to stop the aria and
    start again.
    In rehearsal or in concert....?

    Sadly, everything had gone okay in rehearsal.

    It was Horszowski who was heard backstage at one of
    his concerts moaning "oh, lord, why must I keep
    subjecting myself to this?" He was in his late 90s
    at the time but held on to 100 and then went away.
    I'm of mixed mind on that for myself.... :) I'm in no hurry to leave,
    but on the other hand am not clinging to here, either...
    There will come the day when you feel it's time.
    Whether your body cooperates is another question.
    Time wlll tell...

    And as one keeps being reminded,
    there's no sense worrying about
    it anyway.

    I'm not familiar with Watney's Red Barrel....
    Of course not, it's beer. But that was referencing
    a Monty Python monologue by Eric Idle about British
    gammon tourism.
    Ah, ok.... :)
    It was a most famous sketch in its day.
    OK. May have heard it, but the reference would probably have gone over
    my head even then.... :)

    It's just a flesh wound.

    ... You don't get once-in-a-lifetime offers like this every day.

    I have once-in-a-lifetimes every year or so.
    They actually may be once-in-a-lifetime.

    It should, but pistachio shouldn't taste like mint...

    Oh, no.... I trust everything afterwards went fine....?

    True.

    Not even a scrape... ;)

    You do move in rarified circles.... ;)
