Janszoon! Good to see you again! Yes, it's been ages since you were last here. I can't remember how long ago because you didn't leave with a tantrum and a thread declaring your loathing of MB, you just little by little stopped posting I think.

I hope you're keeping well. For the luckiest people, this is true in the era of covid:-
i) neither they nor the people they love get infected
ii) they can work from home
iii) for US residents: they are not victims of wildfires or hurricanes.

I hope all, or most, of the above apply to you.

Dear y'all,

the internet is a nice place and such but it's also kinda time-consuming and distracting.
Therefore I decided to mostly stop being around it.
I might still pop in at some point and I'll probably still be checking out end of year lists by members with good taste (looking at Hawk and Ant) but apart from that I won't really be around.
Thanks for all the bants and the good music.
I'll be missing some of you.

Cheers and be well!
g.

Well, ii and iii apply to me at least so that’s good. How are you doing?

I´m going to miss grindy's contributions, especially in the World Music and Jazz/Blues sections, but at least it's good to know that someone will still be monitoring us for errors in Natural History. Thanks.



"Two out of three ain't bad" comes from some 80s song, I think. I'm fine thanks, and also score two out of three. I can count 3 relatives/friends who got covid, but luckily they all bounced right back and complained of very little other than a couple of days of fever. It's a re-assuring reminder, amid all the gloomy national stats, that in the majority of cases covid-19 is a minor infection only.

It's true: once on a long drive with Meatloaf on the stereo, a girl I knew sang her way through the entire album, along with the band.
