Irregular comments, noticings, and perhaps the occasional observation.

To be continued

2, ?, N

Rise at 6:30, morning routine, check e-mail and head in to work. Testing for today's planned release over breakfast (spinach & mushroom omelete), prep for a technical meeting (distributed file system), personal meeting with the boss. Lunch (veggie burger), and more testing.

Light afternoon, as the business couldn't get approvals in time for release. Out at a reasonable time, straight to Silver Lanes for a few practice games, while another league member pre-bowls for this week. 167, 141, 147 - all well above my current average.

Home for a quick dinner (1/2 a steak w/grilled poblano, corn on the cob, cucumber salad), then more rearranging of the practice space.

The evening practice (75 minutes):
2nd primary, 1 string, 2 strings
1st primary, 1234, 7th position:
- 1 string with open string after each note
- 1 string with open string after every 4 notes
- 2 string with open string after every 4 notes
- 2 string with no open string
- Hammerhead variation 1234, 4321 across 6 strings
Geballe twisty-finger two string exercise, ascending and descending
Bach, Gm Cello Prelude bars 1-11, 38-42

Finding some stickier transitions in bars 3 to 4 and bars 9-11. I need to approach these differently, otherwise, I'll just be learning them incorrectly, and that will become the habit.

More cleaning of the practice space, uncovering things that are no longer necessary and can be recycled, others that need a decision made. Also, many gifts from small, furry creatures.

Now computing, and to bed.
