Like being able to pick up blogging again.
Folks, bear with me. I am coming up from under water, recovery from lung surgery is harder than I had – wildly optimistic – expected. So it might be stop and go for the next couple of months. Or it might be possible to put something interesting and coherent in front of your eyes three times a week, for starters. I’ll give it a try, if only to feel connected to the outside world from which I am de facto quarantined.

Music is another one of those bonuses that make up for Armageddon: Grieg’s Lyrical Pieces I and II. (There are 66 in all – but these are favorite selections.)

Hi, Friderike—
Please don’t rush anything on my account, I’d much rather see you entirely focused on recovery. I missed the earlier message where you mentioned upcoming surgery, so I don’t know the situation, but anything I can do to support healing, please let me know.
Best wishes, Mike
