There was an accident today at Pablo’s work. He is ok. In fact, everyone is ok. When the hospital called, I couldn’t even sit down because our stupid downstairs phone is broken and you have to lean close to the cradle for it to work. I was so terrified. They let me talk to him [...]

I think I’ve written before how it is Louisa May Alcott’s fault I am so enamoured of the comma.

The whole recital was lovely. Her teacher arranges it so that the beginners play first and we work [...]
