Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Right you are.

Actually, Phobos reminded me something of a chocolate truffle, imperfectly dusted. I couldn't account for the pits, though.

Well, the mystery is explained when you know that Phobos is a nutmeg, doomed to be grated by the gravitational tidal forces of Mars.



Ah ... a thought ... maybe that's where the chocolate comes in?

Nutmeg in my chocolate? Seriously? I suppose I could expand my horizons...

I am reminded of a chocolate company who's motto was "The best chocolate comes from Mars."
