That's more than enough music this early in the morning, especially on the first of the year. Sometimes the weird part of the night is a bit... too quiet without something playing.

However, you observe today, I hope you all are well.

• l just read in a book by Raymond Smullyan, a logician. I forgot the name of the book but it is a series of "forensic chess puzzles" solved by Sherlock Holmes.
