(Sounds a little like he was a bit of a control freak.  You definitely need, at the very least, two people to make it a conversation.  Otherwise, it’s just a monologue.  But, I can sympathize with trying to have a quiet conversation while others around you are speaking loudly.  Be well, do good . . . and be considerate of others, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  Yesterday, a commenter indicated my Cryptoquote Spoiler – or maybe just the quote itself – was incorrect.  My spoiler WAS correct, but that doesn’t mean that the quote that the Cryptoquote people used is correct.  Baudelaire was French, so something could have been lost in translation.  To me, it makes much more sense the way the Cryptoquote people laid it out.  You don’t need to be amusing to speak OF (or ABOUT) yourself.   —   YUR

PPS.  A Big Happy Birthday to one of my personal heroes,  Muhammad Ali!  The ALL-TIME Heavyweight Champeen of The World turns 70 today!  Rock on, Mo!  You always were, and will always be, The Greatest of All-Time!  Rumble, young man!  Ahh!   —   YUR
