The programme for the symphony (1845 version) by Hector Berlioz: Part One: Daydreams, Passions The author imagines that a young musician, afflicted by the sickness of spirit which a famous writer has called the vagueness of passions (le vague des passions), sees for the...
I just got done reading (this post from the blog For No One)[https://fornoone.bearblog.dev/things-to-do-after-your-dad-dies/] and I feel like it gave me the courage to talk about when my dad died. I've alluded to it in previous posts, but never got into the weeds of it. I think part of me is afraid of digging up...

The reason your mee-maw and your bank and your boss can all reach you at the same email address is that the protocol that made it possible was published more than forty years ago, and the people...
