PS. It's my birthday month. I've been saying, "I'm nearly 49" for, like, 6 months now. Soon I'll actually be 49 and it will be anticlimactic, because every time I would see my age listed as "48" I would think, "That's not right; I'm 49. 🤨 Oh, ri-i-i-i-ight!"

I have no money this year to splurge on a present for myself, but if anyone in the greater Seattle-Olympia-Aberdeen area knows of a FREE PIANO, one that sounds sweet even if it looks like a piece of shit, please let me know.
