Final Edits are Up!Oh, did you listen to the Marmite Echo?
Not only did I post Closure Part 9, but I’ve already put in the final edits in. Nothing substantive has changed, but some awkward phrasing has been corrected and the timing of the one or two jokes has been tightened. You can read it by scrolling down or clicking HERE.

Telephone conversation with my 4-year-old daughter Sam, who stayed home with Gramma today on account of an ear infection and a bad cough:
Dad: Are you feeling better?
Sam: Yeah! I feel fine!
Dad: So you can hear good?
Sam: Yeah!
Dad: Can you hear your hair talking?
Sam: Dad!
Dad: Well?
Sam: No!
Dad: Can you see out your nose?
Sam: (laughing) No!
Dad: Can you see with your eyes?
Sam: I don’t want to talk about this anymore.
Dad: But its important. We need to know you’re feeling better.
Sam: Da-ad!
Dad: Sam, how many hands do you have?
Sam: Two.
Dad: Are you sure? I think you have three.
Sam: No, I have two.
Dad: You better count them.
Sam: One… Two…. Two. I have two!
Dad: How many fingers?
Sam: I don’t want to talk about this anymore!
Dad: Do you have 24 fingers?
Sam: NO!!
Dad: I thought you didn’t want to talk about it anymore?
Sam: I have five on each hand.
Dad: So how much is that, total?
Sam: Here. Talk to gramma.
‘The Marmite Echo’.. sounds like a local paper from the UK.
I just spent some time listening to your music. I feel qualified to say only, “I liked it.” Piano solos esp.
P.S. checked out the rest of your blogs. Very cute wife & kid. The kid reminds me of my granddaughter who has a big chest of ‘princess clothes’.
dc: Marmite is, I believe, the British version of Vegemite, a disgusting yeast culture used as a spread.
l>t:Thanks! I don’t add much to the SafeT’unes blog anymore, this was a rare occasion. As for the princess clothes, yes. She has a pullman-style suitcase filled with dressup clothes. Most of which manifest themselves as the accoutrements of royalty.
I know that; that’s why I said it sounded like ‘a local paper from the UK.‘ Remember who you’re dealing with, here.
heh.. she’s a smart kid.
can’t hear music on my work computer, will have to wait till i get home… but your sam - yup, she’s a smart cookie all right!
DC:But… that would be like a paper from the US called The Ketchup Times, or Ranch Dressing Sentinel!
Sarah:I am, of course, biased. Even so, I’m fairly certain my daughter represents the epitomy of human evolution.
Shoopska:For a four year old, she’s smart. For a college math major? Not so bright.
Well, you have a Mayo Clinic, after all.
And we almost had a Ketchup president.
Marmite Echo is lovely Mr. Tinspector. I liked it - just the thing to soothe a frazzled mummy’s morning.
well if the epitomy of human evolution is a cute sassy girl, then she’d be it! ;o)
Foot:But not a Horseradish Foundation. Wonder why?
Sam:I know we had a peanut, but who was to be the…oh, yeah. Heinz. Clever. Oh, and thanks!
Sarah:Cute and sassy now, ruthless and omnipotent later!
Marmite is the food of gods…
Nice tune mate, though it needed a harsher side, seemed it was more love marmite then hate marmite.
LOL.. love the talk!
dan:I’ve never tasted it, so I can’t tell you how I feel about the Marmite. I was simply thinking of the word at the time I went to name the composition. Since I usually don’t have anything in mind when I’m playing…. as for harsh, you may want to check out Week 2 or Antiwaltz; perhaps they are more Marmite than clover.
RHSP:So did I! I smiled the whole way home after that.
I had a packet of Marmite crisps from the wee british shop in town the other day. They tased just like the old KP Beef flavour, for anyone who cares about these matters.
what is Ranch Dressing?
Its a kind of dressing-cum-dip-cum-saucebase used by Yanks, mainly.
Like a really runny, garlicy mayonaise.
Its the closest condiment we have to marmite in terms of its cultural singlurity.
Unlike Marmite/Vegemite, however, it is delicious.
