That's a slippery slope to go down; perhaps better to do ones best and try to ignore (or speak to one privately first) and/or offer the other cheek/take a deep breath/maybe think that that person has had a bad day, etc.  I know that I am far from perfect.  :(

Best wishes,

Don't let their misery bring you down.

The amount of good in the world outpaces the bad by at least 2:1.

Most important advertising slogan for Canadian companies since yesterday: "Did you know our products are made in Canada?"

About, I want to say a month ago(?), I started seeing a number of ads from Ontario on the t.v.  Personally, I don't understand why this trade war is happening between the U.S. and Canada.  I'll bite my tongue as I'm not allowed to go there.  Personally, I love our Canadian neighbors.  ❤️  Hope that this ends soon for all of our sakes.

We know whose fault it is. . .

Apparently it is over; Canada has satisfied Trump by agreeing to a deal which (as I understand the matter)it had already agreed to back in December with the Biden administration. 
Mexico had already come to some sort of arrangement, so now we just wait for China.

Coming up soon (Friday, I believe):  an auction of a Stradivarius violin.  It belongs to the NE Conservatory of Music.  They are selling it to raise money for scholarships....possibly $18M worth.  :o

A classical music cartoon I saw recently:

A score of clear complexity and difficulty is open on its first two pages with its title Foreign Relations at the top, the "musician" reading the score is interpreting it by banging on a tin pot with a wooden spoon.

Next week, I get the critique from my editors on the work that I have sent in for them regarding my book, so I am pretty amped to hear what they have to say (hopefully, good things, but I suspect I will get rightfully reamed, lol). ;D
