After J6 I had to compartmentalize and consume less media as a matter of survival. I had a traumatic experience that morning that involved a lunatic, right-wing therapist, however, so there was an added incentive…

I’ll do my best to embody the sneaky, chaotic evil energy whenever it is in my hands henceforth!

Aww! I so don’t, but I keep needing it for work and it was time to invest in an upgrade. I’m more of a soprano and bass clarinet kinda guy overall! Nice to connect here :-)

I went to France last week and bought a gorgeous new E-flat clarinet for myself, as well as a couple of clarinets for a colleague and a former student! Learned my French speaking is now better than the vast majority of French people’s English speaking.

Have you considered sending criticisms via a note taped to the door? “Lost a bit of time in the sixteenth note passage” or “tends rather sharp in the high register”, etc.

Perhaps they’re a bit of both :-)

Dreams, especially strange ones, make for a great conversation with a good therapist. Freud did call dreams the “Royal road” to the unconscious mind, after all.
