David: "...small distance that disqualifies me from playing Rachmaninoff ...
Yep. Me too. Hands that are way too small. But that isn't the only thing.
Lack of talent is the other thing. Very disheartening. But don't think I
lacked courage. I tried. And tried some more.

Subject: [lit-ideas] Sunday Wotsit
when something just goes to show where does it actually go and secondly can
you buy a line item veto in the line islands these days i have wondered in
an open curious way nothing snarky here what an attention span looks like
precisely is it something you'd see under a bridge or more like oceanic
television does it have something in common with the small distance that
disqualifies me from playing rachmaninoff an insufficiency of largeness in
the fingers and too much distance between notes sometimes i know i pay
attention more closely than other taxpayers noting for example just how many
times recently i have heard the phrase "as an...[insert profession or
calling here] i feel..." which makes me think those being interviewed
artists authors sagger makers bottom knockers should carry warrant cards
with stamps on them so that their views could be validated like passport
pages whenever something in their experience causes them woes that are not
available to those of us who belong to the common herd btw the snake we
didn't kill in switzerland was probably a viper and might have killed us had
we tried to save it which as a poet and a writer i may say goes to show
