I don't think that's what he meant

Went to a place on campus for lunch where they play the oldies radio station over the loudspeaker. As I'm drinking my soda and reading my book, the strains of Tony Orlando and Dawn's "Candida" attract my attention:
Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Um. D'you think he knew he was singing to yeast?

No, probably not. Did he sing as sweetly as a thrush?

I just spotted your Twitter on Suzanne's 40th. I wish I could express how that makes me feel for you beyond "I'm sorry." It just sends a sad, wordless pang through me.

Thanks, JM. I was going to write a post about her, but I find that I don't know where to start.

I may still try it. If I start now, I might have something ready by this time next year.

...And Anna, I've been trying to come up with another infectious pun, but I think that my punner broke.
