Last evening at Maureen's

Thank you for everything, Maureen. Your home and hospitality are awesome with that little extra grace: an alphabetized bookshelf.  And thank you for providing Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variations.

Do Not Say We Have Nothing inspired some enthusiastic conversation about an obscure bit of history.
