Oh my, I had no idea potholes were so detrimental to my health! Speaking of polyglots, I have the frustrating unconscious habit whenever I attempt to speak a foreign language of filling in the words I don't know with words from other foreign languages. So, basically, I am fluent in gibberish.

Love the footnote--and everything else--funny trip to gout. Looking forward to your guest post to follow mine, yours on June 9th. Here's my latest (if you care about poetry! and I know you do ...-- or maybe desire is your thing :) https://innerlifecollaborative.substack.com/p/robert-hass-poet-extraordinaire-thank ~M.

Great letter! That would be interesting to hear what the cats play on the piano. Maybe you could even get it recorded and make money. 🤣 Then the cats wouldn't bankrupt you.

😂 Recording them would be a challenge!

"A cup of coffee on one side and a cat on the other." Sounds right to me -- as does your recipe for a happy marriage. Thanks for the reminder, Terry, of how simple and nice life can be if we just let it. Good way to start my day.

Thanks, Sharron. I agree. Regarding happy marriage, see https://open.substack.com/pub/terryfreedman/p/start-the-week-4?utm_source=direct&r=18suih&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web scroll down to "A few years ago..."

Have a lovely day 😃

Thank you for another great letter, Terry! I'm sad that you didn't include a sound clip of the cats playing Elaine's piano. I'd love to hear their prowess in a later letter, if you wouldn't mind.

Do you have any medical training? #askingforafriend

Thanks for comment, o probing one. Yes I do have medical training: I did a first aid course in 1998. Next question?

The cats play some really cool jazz, but randomly, making it impossible to get recorder ready in time. But I'll do my best!
