   I vaguely remember one of the Democratic candidates, during the 1992 primaries, referring to Bill Clinton as “Pander Bear”.

   Reminds me of a Farside from long ago. The human is telling the dog “wait for it, wait for it”, and the dog’s thought bubble says “that’s it; I’m going to kill him”.

   Do they have Lord of the Cheerios?

   Actually, I always disliked Cheerios. Does the Dickens line have Grape Nuts Expectations?

   On the HB scale, the equivalent of a #2 is an HB. A #3 would be an H, which is a bit hard for a writing pencil, but not impossible if it’s what you have.

   I do have a set of drawing pencils that goes all the way from 10B (very soft and dark) to 10H (ridiculously hard and light). I rarely use anything harder than a 2H (#4 equivalent).

   I expected you to ask what I expected if things didn’t go as I expected. Other than that, I had no Great Expectations.

   Only slightly younger than you and I mostly listen to classical music, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Rameau, others. If I want some more modern music I might go with Satie, Debussy, even Prokofiev or Stravinsky. Or some jazz.

   I also like individual tunes from various types of modern pop music. I don’t tell other people what to like. But it is annoying when you can’t get away from what other people like in public spaces, particularly when it’s very loud.

   While I do know that current meaning of PDA, I recall when it meant “Personal Digital Assistant”. I wonder what happened to my old Palm Pilot.

   Don’t worry, Garfield. One day you will go to your eternal nap.

    Why not also have it playing while she sleeps? She’s obviously not fully committed.
