Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

On the light side, have you seen the First Time Hearing videos on YouTube? Young men - twins - who are exploring "old" music for the first time and making videos of their reactions. So far, the ones I've seen are positive ... but the reactions to the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter are priceless.

I love those guys! I keep saving their videos to watch later because watching YouTube is not something I can do much of for some reason, but what I have seen has been just delightful

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm sorry, Tep. That's scary and stressful.

It turns out she was just very constipated and gassy.

I vividly remember having to pick up Emmett from school because of intense stabbing stomach pains and being able to relieve just with Gas-X. Which we always keep in the house now for that moment. Just a reminder that gas can be very painful.

Yeah, like I said ltc doesn't complain, so I knew it was really painful.

I was once in the emergency room (teaching hospital attached to a university) and I overheard, from the next cubicle, a college student being told that she was constipated and given a laxative. So ... it can persist into almost-adulthood.

They did an X-ray and you can see the pockets of gas and constipation and it was quite substantial. I feel like a bad momma who wasn't monitoring her bathroom habits enough.

Just got an automated call - both offices are closed today due to smoke. Makes no actual difference to me, I'll be working from home with a Vog mask on either way, but we won't be shipping any orders out either, or receive inventory. This should be interesting.
