Living Musically: Prepare Ye

D: What, pray tell, are we preparing for? A: . . . um, May Day? Beltane? D: Really? Because I’m pretty certain that Prepare Ye the way of the Lord has nothing to do with Beltane.

An Exercise in Prose: Lives Entwine

Adventure with A to the Grand Budapest

D: Does this ‘grand’ adventure mean he can be my voice actor, now? A: Are you still going on about that? D: Of course I am. He has charm, A. And wit.
