The trivial task before us...

Flossie Lewis was first profiled on the PBS Newshour segment "Brief but Spectacular". The direct YouTube video: "Growing old is a state of mind. I'm 91. I'm badly crippled. But I still think I'm 15."

After the original video went viral, the filmmaker visited Flossie again and arranged a reunion of former students (who include Daniel Handler AKA Lemony Snicket, and Emil Guillermo). She immediately launched into a lecture discussion regarding "whether Bobby Dylan is worth the laureate for literature."

After seeing this, I feel like I understand Handler's writing style just a bit more (or at least his passion for developing the vocab of his readers).

Plus, is it dusty in here?

That was lovely.
