Well, Doug, I’m sure glad your ancestors got out of that hole. To date, Merthyr Tydfil is known as “the sickest place in the UK,” with the lowest life expectancy in Wales.

Merdyr Tydfel, I think, is the spelling. It's supposed to be something of a hole and given that the family immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, I believe it.

Well, Doug, I don’t speak it either, yet. I only had my third lesson this afternoon.

I went to the National Library of Wales the other day and saw Obama’s family tree. You’re more Welsh than he is. Do you know where in Cymru your grandmother was born?

Ah, the language of my grandmother. I don't speak a consonant of it. Welcome back, though.

Hey, Doug. Thank you for inquiring—and blwyddyn newydd dda to you! I had to erase 144 pieces of spam to get to your message. Things are okay here. I haven't been online much lately, as you may have gathered. We've been busy doing up the house. I've had a few aches, pains and upsets, started to learn Welsh, reminisced too much, but am ready at last to snap out of a prolonged

I thought Up was maybe the best movie of the decade. Completely brilliant. I see your point, too. It's not hard to imagine Asner conking himself on the head to get Bryan's perspective.

Considering Bryan's post-trial fate, I am glad Asner is no method actor. Did you see Up?

William Jennings Bryan might be the role Ed Asner was born to play.

Yes, it is a clear, crisp recording. My hearing isn’t great, either; I rarely listen to radio plays without earphones. By the way, the recording is only available until Saturday morning. I was too slow to respond to it sooner; I also missed out on discussing a BBC Radio 4 documentary about the Lux Radio Theater.

I hope the Radio Wales presentation, not yet listened to, offers the high quality audio I hear from the BBC. My ears having lost their precious high frequencies that so profoundly affect speech intelligibility, much of classic radio is hard to understand.
