Yesterday, on my drive in to work at a major Boston teaching hospital, I saw somebody holding a sign that you might find hard to read.

Sometimes, I find people’s expressions hard to read, too.
I hope it’s not hard to read, here, that lately I’ve been thinking that maybe my visions of very large faces who all look very angry might be faces hovering over me — after I was born with a congenital heart condition — that were actually worried, not angry. After all, grown-up faces can be hard to read, for a very young child.
Which of the following photos do you find hard to read? Which are easy to read?




If anything here is hard to read, please ask for my assistance.
Are the lyrics for this song (which first appeared in my blog post titled “Everything you need to know about the world”) hard to read?
The rules for “The Voice” try-outs (which are not hard to read) indicate that I should prepare five songs to sing in Philadelphia, two months from now. I’m thinking I might attempt a reading and a singing of “Mad World.” I wonder if I’ll be able to read the expressions on people’s faces then.
Thanks to all my wonderful co-workers (who are easy and a pleasure to read), to grownups and children, to red, green, and pink cupcakes, to all the people responsible for creating “Mad World,” to judges everywhere, and to you — of course! — for reading this blog today.
