As an alternative to viewing the evening news I opted in spending a couple of hours reading Byron's poetry and listening to two of my favorite classical hits by Beethoven. Mind you I have never had instruction in classical music. I have developed an appreciation of Beethoven over the years!
One Frank Cooke was my teacher of sorts. The Pastoral symphony #6 was my introduction then The Ninth .. The Choral.. two of Beethoven's most popular.
As far as English authors, George Gordon.. Sixth Lord Byron, too was introduced by Mr. Cooke. I have grown in appreciating the works of both over time. Music is relaxing for sure!
RAIN
My barometer reads 29.24 inches...the water in the rain gauge dazzles me at 5 inches. Maybe I didn't empty previous collections? Puddles on Route 9 were flooding and the winds were strong. Many trees no longer host leaves.
BASEBALL
Maybe the New York Yankees will play Houston tonight in the Bronx?
