I hear you can make a great sandwich spread by adding a little mayo 🤷🏻♀️
:::ducking flying condiment jar :::
🤣 “Mmmm, chewy! Tastes like jerky…” <— Any dog I’ve ever had, probably.
The “Preparation” section in its Wiki entry sounds like a Dateline episode:
“gutting and beheading…placing it in a shallow hole dug in gravelly sand, with the cleaned cavity resting on a small mound of sand. [S]tones are placed on top of the sand in order to press the fluids out of the body...” 🤢
Mmmm, fermented shark. Kill the taste with a Bing’s cannoli and a water ice—thanks for my new addictions, BTW—it might not be too bad?
Is that like scrapple?
You would think! Or a volcano party hat #Iceland
I mention the recital + Icelandic pianist coincidence.
Dr. Progenydóttir, good scientist, synthesizes data.
Her conclusion: “…is this him?”

Not quite.
“Even if I didn’t know he was Icelandic,
that would be my first guess.
(Or Portland.)”
🤦🏻♀️🎹🐶

My daughter (“That’s Dr. Progenydóttir to you”) thinks I need a dog.
So she sends an Icelandic sheepdog pic, with CV:
• smart
• eager to please
• < 30lbs
She has no idea I have a ticket to see Icelandic pianist
Víkingur Ólafsson.
This becomes relevant.

Now I’m hungry…
😆 Yeah, but his were not saying, “There’s ice cream in the freezer. It has milk. It has eggs. In a different life, it would’ve been scrambled eggs. So it *could* be breakfast…let’s find out!”
Color me green with envy!!!
Ooh, I’m totally going with your first impression of witch hazel. One of those nice between-seasons surprises to find hiking in the woods.
Oh, know that drill on the email—and yay on kendo tourney!! 😊
It’s Friday the 13th.
For anyone leaning into the superstition that it’s unlucky—my counterpoint counterargument:
🎵
The bass line repeats 32 more times.
The voices will work it out.*
Counterpoint says everything will resolve…eventually.
*Not the ones in your head.
#Friday13th #ClassicalMusic
Awwww 🥰😘
Wait…unless I’m leaping to conclusions and the partner referred to is Toolbox?! 🐈⬛ or 🙋🏻♀️
It’s the weekend almost, is that a good thing or bad thing?
G’nite, peeps.
Needed something to soothe tough and prickly nerves wandering farther than any explanation should have to follow.
Hello, stylus luxurians—richly expressive, dramatic turns, emotional sighs. Oh, and the music has those too…
M. Weckmann (1616-74), Toccata in E minor
#ClassicalMusic
Oh, totally feel that!!!
🤣 Every day’s yer birthday!
Happy Blursday—the day when you’re not exactly sure *what* day it is.
🤷🏻♀️ Today’s a Thursday that feels like it should be a Friday, but my mood is still in last Saturday even tho I’m starting the day catching up from Monday.
☕️ Need more coffee.

Same here—as much as I’d love to turn right back around and head back East. Remind me to check event listings earlier….🤦🏻♀️
Mar 13, 8PM EDT. Cambridge MA
Le Consort. Trio sonatas.
What’s not to love?!
#bemf #Boston #classicalmusic #LeConsort
(Mar 27-Apr 10: Virtual/Online).
Once an early music nerd…
K, just choked on bedtime tea 😆
Oh, you had me at the mention of that Haydn trio—and that wild 18th-c proto-walking bass outlining the harmony. Even in a slower movement, Haydn just couldn’t resist shaking things up. 🤷🏻♀️
Sounds like a great program, and I enjoyed your review!
G’nite, peeps.
I Understand This Light to Be My Home
by MAI DER VANG
I am shaped
in the spaces where the light does
not reach, a need for what does not
shimmer
but opening to the shadow to receive...

🎵 Leclair as lullaby tonight… #ClassicalMusic
That would’ve been a nice add to the video, I agree.
I listened to his father Rolf’s lute performances for years—so was intrigued to find out what his son did with a VdaG. Not disappointed—apple definitely didn’t fall far from the tree!!
Those look and sound absolutely incredible!
