Reflections on a Snippet of Boccherini


-Or-

As the illiterate Joe Plaice said, "The Lord taketh, and he giveth away."


-Or-

As the not-so-illiterate Guy de Maupassant said, "The simplest of women are wonderful liars who can extricate themselves from the most difficult dilemmas with a skill bordering on genius."


It's all there. In the Boccherini.

Glad you are back. Love the Boccherini. Had to actually buy the soundtrack after we saw the movie. :) Wish I had some musical talent. It must be great fun to play like that!

I've see a lot of weird shit happen on a boat.

Just sayin"

Welcome back. I don't believe those skills are bordering on genius, but only because I don't think that gives enough credit to the skills. I have seen times when she would have a lie so intricately woven and solidly worked out when I would still be stuck on "uhhhh."

I hate it when weird shit happens on boats.

Good to see you show up again, V-dude -- been missin' my daily ration of velocity. Love the Boccherini ... guess I'm going to have to give in & read the series/watch the movies. Can't think why I've never gotten around to them. The de Maupassant is a rather sweeping indictment of womankind, dontcha think? Sigh. Really have missed your presence. Hope you're writing somewhere!!

The absence was not as long as I feared it would be. Welcome back. Today's bright spot is the return of VelociWords. May all be well with you.

Yay! He's back!

Oh great, now Boccherini puts me in mind of rum, sodomy and the lash.

A fair warning to those who pick up the 'canon' as it's known. The first book may take a bit to get through, but after that, you will dive into the center of the Earth. O'Brian, though a bastard, was a brilliant writer. I read them while they were still being published in the US, and would go through withdrawal symptoms waiting for the next one to be published.

Glad your back!

The loans suppose to be important for guys, which want to organize their own organization. As a fact, it is very comfortable to get a auto loan.
