I had a good day...quit at 5p, posted, and will head for home at 6p...20 minutes to go. The traffic will have cleared out.

Did you have a good porch day? Mom wants to go out on the deck to check her flowers when I get home.

Dvorak? Smetna? Yes!

Barber? Williams? Eh...

Borodin? Verdi? Wagner? Moussorgsky? Prokofiev? Stravinsky? Bach? Rachmaninoff? Khachaturian? YES!

I am kind of opinionated towards the bombastic.
