Congratulations on the miracle escape!

Good old cycling muscles...they've saved my bacon a few times.

Very glad to hear you will avoid surgery -  that's wonderful news. Better buy a lottery ticket and crack open a nice bottle of something

OK, time to break the trio of Britons here and say this about telling the truth from start to finish. It may be boring sometimes and other times a little more revealing than you may like but it is always fresh and unmitigated. Telling the truth always saves one from having to remember what they told one particular person from another. One version each time every time with everyone. I would draw a distinction from not revealing some details to the entire world. The overwhelming majority of people in one's life don't need to know every detail about you. You choose whom to talk to and what you talk about. Part of the problem with the internet age is people spinning yarns (diplomatic for lying) about themselves and the anonymity (or so they think) of it all. Belief in God aside, we honor our parents and our communities when we tell the truth because it reveals our inner character. Good character is the keystone to all else in life's construction.

In the words of Huckleberry Finn (who, along with Elwood Blues, is one of my moral touchstones) - "Sometimes it's actually better to tell the truth,"

What about Norwalk? :-)

Gravel is a rock - a gem is a gem, precious or semi precious as the case may be

Strictly speaking, gems are generally minerals. 

A rock?

He's not that old, he's 75. Not like he's 95 with one wheel in the sand. 

If they were going to give the award to a singer songwriter out of the 60s, they could always have picked Joni Mitchell. She runs rings around Dylan in terms of writing talent and what's more, she can sing.

As you say, songwriting and television screenplays have become important literary mediums in the 21st century. On which basis Matt Groening must surely be in line for a gong from Stockholm, given his large body of work and the way it addresses the human condition.

And when he wants to do a Dylan and express his disdain for the Nobel, he could always tweet - Eat my shorts.

You guys are out of my league in your knowledge of truly awful music...
