I’ve seen this at estate sales. Unfortunately, it was badly beaten up.

The nature of the beast.

For those of you who use the ACA (Obamacare), the risk has significantly increased that it won’t be around come mid 2021.

Just got my test results back and they were negative fortunately (massive understatement). Of course, I still feel like crap: annoying cough, higher temperatures than normal and general exhaustion.

Yes, I have. I’ve been interested in modern German history since high school and have read many books over the years. The ones by Richard Evans are particularly good.

A tracking number just tells you general location and that it may have arrived or departed a certain destination. For example, back in March, tracking on a package from NY showed that it had arrived and then departed Jersey City and was on its way to the final destination. However, it took another two weeks to arrive notwithstanding that I only live 40 or so miles from Jersey City.

Marc Myers, in Jazz Wax, posted this tonight.

No matter how much a person may be an idiot during their life, unless the person has physically harmed you, I don’t see the necessity to say those kinds of things after they’re dead. For me, one or two “good riddances” is sufficient.

I purchased this too and have started it but, right now, with all the hate that seems to be around us, I’m having a hard time reading the book.

It probably is and probably will be taken down but I’m sure most agree with you here.

Indeed. A few years ago I was listening to in the car and then I traded in the car and remembered I’d left it in the old one. The dealer was nice enough to retrieve and send it back to me.

There are a lot of people who are of a contrarian nature.

Today would have been Emily Remler’s 63rd birthday. What a talent she was!

Amen to that!

I remember it but never purchased it.

Not much love lost, is there.

If I didn’t know better, this could be Sangrey’s handiwork

I did a reverse image search and the cartoon, not the writing, seems to come from Archie Comics. There was some outfit or organization called Keller Jazz that used the comic as you reproduced it. Is that where you found it?

Thanks for the clarification Mark. Too bad. Do you know how far he’d gotten?

It looks like volume 2 of his Bird bio is supposed to be published early next year. Just finished reading Ethan Iverson’s piece on him. Tremendous.

RIP.

Unfortunately, I’m in the same boat. Had a slightly high temperature on Saturday night (99.5) and was starting to feel fatigued so I had a test Monday. The temperature now seems in normal ranges but have no strength. No other symptoms fortunately. Hopefully, just a bad cold or the flu.
