In reply to jonas. True on both counts, though I do miss the days of longer-winded blogging and abundant comment responses. I don't feel like social media gave us much in exchange for shattering the blogosphere, to be honest, just shallower interactions. Ah well.

Restoring the long-winded early posts preserves a useful contrast with your shorter writing now. Since “those were posts I’d made private at some point”, the two losses seem less at odds with that record.

Am really pleased to see you have come back to the Cantos – given you bravely managed each of the China/Adams Cantos you deserve to do the Pisans…

Comment on Happy Birthday in Korea… by gordsellar

In reply to Sandra L Dodd. Thanks, I appreciate your comment! Now that I have some workable music notation software, I'm tempted to just write out the music on a staff, to make the comparison easier to follow. Maybe sometime. In any case, I'm glad this post was helpful to you.

I’ve watched Korean dramas for over ten years, and saw MANY happy-birthday scenes. Your explorarion of “what the heck!?” is helpful. Claude AI found it for me, and I was glad to see it.

In reply to Russ Smith. Ooops, I'm assuming it's the Children of Time that you're referring to? (I can't find a Children of Light, and Children of Time seems to be one of his more famous series.)

In reply to Russ Smith. Hi Russ! If We Cannot Go At the Speed of Light is definitely worth checking out. Children of Light sounds good, I guess I'll check that out, along with that podcast! Thanks for the recommendation!
