Gratuitous Musickal Posting
I was chatting with the mater this afternoon and mentioned how much I enjoyed listening to Schubert's 9th Symphony when taking long runs.
"Well," she said, "Some people call it 'the Great.' I, on the other hand, call it 'the Large.'"
I pointed out that this is a boon when exercising, since if you miss something the first time around, you've got three or four chances to hear it again.
At that, Mom broke into a Seinfeld-like shtick:
"You like that?" she said, imitating ol' Franz, "You wanna hear it again? Cause really - I got nothing else."
You Schubertians out there know exactly what I'm talking about.
