sawylA nice thing from this morning Breakfast on R3 in the shape of the gigue from the fifth of Bach's French Suites. They went with Anderszewski playing just the last movement but I can't resist András Schiff playing the entire suite:
With the office very noisy today — I now know far more than I really want to about the dental health of someone on the other side of the aisle — and with it being delivery day, I goofed off and went downstairs where I helped to prep some of the cables.
While I was down there, Sonja showed me a neat trick: how to write with both hands at the same time. When she did it, she reversed the writing in one direction, but when I did it, I wrote the same way with each hand. I suspect it may be because I write equally well — or, more honestly, equally badly — with either hand and being able to write backwards with one hand isn't really all that useful...
