  1. Permanent damage from *Anathem*? I pick up newspaper, thinking: "I wonder what's going on in the saecular world ..." 10:17 AM May 2nd via MOTOBLUR
  2. First time walking with ankle weights; slow, comically rolling gait cries out for accompanying bassoons. 2:44 PM Apr 10th via MOTOBLUR
  3. @GeoffBurleson @CBCarey @ziodavino Pardon, I think I lost the thread. Does "Fun For All Ages" refer to the anagrams, or the laudanum? 3:03 PM Apr 9th via Twitter for Android in reply to GeoffBurleson
  4. @GeoffBurleson @ziodavino @CBCarey Yin-yang, yes; not to be confused with "modal in/out." 2:40 PM Apr 9th via Twitter for Android in reply to GeoffBurleson
  5. @GeoffBurleson @ziodavino @CBCarey Can't we all just "laud motion"? 2:38 PM Apr 9th via Twitter for Android in reply to GeoffBurleson
  6. Little-known Wisc. divorce law req's 6-mo. wait before remarrying; slows serial gold-diggers who prey on elderly dairy barons. 9:39 AM Mar 20th via MOTOBLUR
  7. @nataliespehar Wait -- even worse than I play? ... So *that's* why violists tell jokes about us! 11:36 AM Mar 13th via Twitter for Android in reply to nataliespehar
  8. @nataliespehar OK, thx 4 asking! Really must think about rep for cello & theremin. :-) 10:19 AM Mar 13th via Twitter for Android in reply to nataliespehar
  9. Yankee, overcompensating? BBQ dinner, then broke out mandolin & picked through tunes from *The Southern Harmony* (1854 ed.) 7:34 PM Feb 18th via MOTOBLUR
  10. High-tech solution: To fix wooden dog toy, I needed teensy block for sanding. Perfect item at hand = 4GB mini flash drive. 10:23 AM Feb 14th via MOTOBLUR
  11. I dust off pedalboard, to play burning metal theremin riffs; instead, circuitry pulls in Julieta Venegas, "Limon y Sal." 9:29 AM Feb 14th via web
  12. Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared: At MIT, Vicky Chow's about to play the Cage *Sonatas & Interludes* 4:46 PM Feb 13th via MOTOBLUR
  13. Somebody turns up the lights in the Goethe-Institut. What else can you say, but "Mehr Licht"? 3:34 PM Feb 7th via MOTOBLUR
  14. Batter my heart, Mozart-person'd God? "Batti, batti, o bel Masetto" (as "Smyrna") stares back at me from depths of hymnal. 3:28 PM Feb 7th via MOTOBLUR
  15. Now there's a thesis that almost writes itself: Analyze Hilary Tann's *From the Song of Amergin* via Richard Cohn's *Audacious Euphony*. 5:27 PM Feb 5th via web
  16. Cold-addled, almost put thesaurus in mailbox. Would postman feel confused, bewildered, disconcerted, surprised, astonished? 12:40 PM Feb 2nd via MOTOBLUR
