Mangosteens

Hi Honey!  Have you been busy?  I do hope you take the time to unwind, and slow down your precious heart.  I'm doing OK, just trying to adjust my emotions to a new singing situation.  Do you like tropical fruit?  Have you had the opportunity to try out exotic fruit?  I think I know you like dragon fruit.  I don't eat a lot of the local fruit.  They're mostly too sweet for me, either a sickly sweet like jackfruit or fatty sweet like durian.  But countless hordes are addicted to durians, including Americans, I am learning.  But I do like mangosteens.  Unlike how the name sounds, mangosteens don't taste like mangoes.  With a texture like almost overripe peaches, and an equal level of sweet and tart, I really like mangosteens.  If you look at the flesh segments, some are big and some are small.  The small segments have no pits, the big ones have pits that you may or may not be able to swallow.  I usually don't.

Hey Natty Honey!  I saw the trailer for "Mamma Mia 2", and there are certainly some big stars in that movie.  I can't imagine Meryl Streep's singing and dancing though (I'm trying not to).  I promise to watch that movie I it's made available to me.  So far it seems the movie is kind of like the story of your life.  And your mamma.  I don't have any Abba songs in my set list.  I think maybe I'll add "Dancing Queen".  Maybe.  Today the computer wants you to watch "Selena" (1997).  I don't speak Spanish or Mexican, I don't think I ever will, but somehow the life of my music intertwines with that culture.  Erin, you should watch this movie too.
