Can anyone recommend a good biography of Mozart? I recently watched Amadeus again and realized I don't have any reference frame to compare. I'd like to know more about the real Mozart - how is contemporaries viewed him. I'm not sure the movie was an accurate portrayal of his personality.
I couldn't help but chuckle. I see that Rachel Canning -- the teenaged ditz who moved out of her parents' house when they demanded she stop seeing her boyfried and then sued them for support -- now has a restaining order against that same boyfriend. Seems he likes to beat her up or something.

Nice image. What type of camera?
It's just a Panasonic Lumix. Nothing Tandy.
I mean fancy.
Damned autocorrect.

That's an elm tree?
It's good to see that leaf again. In Michigan, all the streets were lined with them. Yards, tree lines in the farm fields. Gone since the '70's.
I remember my Grandpa trying to use dynamite to blow up elms on his farm, trying to stop the spread of the disease. Fail on both accounts.
To define American "allies" as broadly as possible, name one who has any reason to trust Obama or his emissaries.

Once in a while parents know something.
Great photo.
