The critical challenge of the "Fantasie-Polonaise" is creating the sense of homecoming when the A-flat theme returns in triplets at the very end. It requires incredible concentration to make it work. I did it reasonably well, but years later when I heard it played by a professional, I understood how it should really sound.
Have a #NonPlayerChristmas.
And a lump of high-sulfur coal.
Btt
I try not to go where there are stop lights! But yes, I don’t care. Thanks!

Day 4 of no government
The effects of the government shutdown have gone from bad to worse. Last night was eerily silent. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Facing starvation, people are getting desperate. Some people dreamed of snow falling today so they could have something to melt and drink.
Children hung stockings out in hopes that a strange benefactor would magically appear, and fill them with food.
Others put some of their milk and pastry rations out on the table in the hope of attracting the food-bearing stranger. It was a gamble taken because of hunger.
We went to bed early, but soon out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. I tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
When what to my wondering eyes did appear, but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
I shouted from the window, “Get. Off. My. Lawn.”
But in a world without a federal government, people lose respect for private property rights. I think some of the reindeer left calling cards.
This morning, I drove out. The streets were barren. All the shops and the restaurants were closed, even Tudor’s.
I was literally shaking.
Everyone senses the anarchy that lurches like a troll on Twitter. The shutting down of the government has imperiled the nation like nothing before. This is worse than 9/11 or Pearl Harbor Day or Game 7 of the 1997 World Series.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reported that shutting down government means the government is not collecting money.
The news service quoted Gordon Gray, director of fiscal policy at American Action Forum, who said, “Museums are closed, so the government doesn’t sell freeze-dried ice cream.”
No museums! No freeze-dried ice cream!
We are doomed.
When the dog gives me a look, I generally take that as a sign to stop.
THIS LOOK?

Enjoying my first Oklahoma Christmas.
Given the recent Democrat-DOJ collusion/corruption in the Swamp District of New York, DC and other biased jurisdictions, this state and the 10th Circuit (Utah) could become a driving force for the reestablishment of the rule of law in 2019.
KEK, no! But that is hilarious.
It’s more the side-eye. I need to learn how to post pictures again. I use Chrome because Q would not come up on Explorer Naturally my operating system is Microsoft and well.... you know.
Thank you for a most clickable link which brought up many warm memories for me.
As a ParrotHead during the late '70s early '80s I dinked about in the local freshwater lakes in 16' daysailors and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Naturally once in a while I would turn on a Buffet tune in the cuddy, or in a more mellow mood, Christopher Cross "Sailing":
"the canvass can do miracles..."
One of the happier periods of my life. Thanks for the reboot.

What does the bolded mean?
Made the mistake of checking out the POTUS twitter feed. WOW, unhinged and using their own names. SS must be working over time.
OH, go to Qmap and go to proofs and look at that number tweet. You can see what the Anons came up with. https://qmap.pub/proofs
