How Bob Woodward ever convinced Trump that it would be a good idea for their conversations to be recorded is a complete mystery. <br /><br />Fedex is usually so reliable. Over here we can use the tracking number to see each stop the package makes along it's voyage to it's destination. Blame it on the French.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335063080532127542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-4599926181073871012020-09-10T09:45:15.972+02:002020-09-10T09:45:15.972+02:00Hari OM

I actually adore -and once played- Chopin's preludes, but there is plenty other music equally emotional. That the Rameau had me smiling AND crying is the proof of this!

The Chopin a little intense for first thing in the morning. Your book recommendations are noted and I too will likely order the Machiavelli one. Fingers crossed that the pictures arrive today and will be featured soon on this blog. Cheers, Gail.

The book on Lincoln sounds very good as well, but I don't think I'm up to it just now, as our current president seems to have left me in a weakened emotional state. My daughter read Lincoln's second inaugural address as part of her language course a few months ago, and it left me in tears. On the other hand, I am quite looking forward to reading "Rage" - it would be quite something if Bob Woodward can have a hand in bringing down two US presidents nearly fifty years apart. I also loved the lady drummer. When I was a kid, I wanted to play drums in band class but it was the school's view that drums were not ladylike. They gave me a flute instead, which I despised. The lady drummer almost looks as though she might have had a similar experience.Lisa in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080757130655335246noreply@blogger.com
