Frank Murphy is joined by his friend Kathryn Frady of Marble City Opera, who noticed that Frank put a new dryer sheet in his shirt pocket. Frank admits that the leaves in his backyard were pretty even though he thinks of autumn as dying and winter as death.
Frank and his wife Jere were busy preparing questions for Tennessee Scholars’ Bowl. He is happy that Jere bought two wireless mice for Frank to use on his two work computers.
Some of the students on Scholars’ Bowl have memorized the questions from previous years. Frank is gradually rewriting the questions in his “voice” rather than that of previous hosts.
Frank got a thank-you card from his friends Kristen and Jeff Detrow. They were busy working on a fundraiser for the Blount County Animal Center and couldn’t come over for a podcast.
Kathryn wonders if she could hire Frank to do a presentation about the Body Farm in conjunction with her upcoming world premiere of the opera The Doctor & The Devils. Learn about the opera at https://www.marblecityopera.com/doctorandthedevils

Frank enjoyed the ginger beer at the fancy restaurant. Kathryn’s husband once tried to serve her crab meat soaked in ginger beer, which tasted terrible.
