Fun and Games

I have a great weakness for games in which there is an answer to be guessed. If one could buy reruns of Jeopardy!, to give the first example that pops into my head, I fear I would binge-watch that like nobody's business. But this video has to be my favorite instance of That Sort of Thing that I have ever seen. It has, of course, the advantage of centering on a single topic (Linguistics) which I enjoy very much, but more than that, it's just good fun to watch somebody being very good at something--which the contestant here was certainly being, and in a very good-natured fashion.

Lent-ish, Perhaps

[1979:XII] from Wendell Berry's A Timbered Choir: The Sabbath Poems 1979-1997

Enough Is As Good As a Feast

The last lines seem to apply as well to the composing or performing of music as they do to art.
