Dan and I are really enjoying our stay in Pittsburgh. It’s so great to spend this time with Larry and Leah.\u00a0 This morning Leah and Diane went out to get some breakfast stuff and brought it back. My friend Jocelyn, who is a music professor at CMU came over to talk with me and Larry. I introduced Jocelyn to Larry and they’ve had a couple of collaborations which is pretty cool. Jocelyn is a, very skilled accompanist and is interested in the entrainment between the minds of the accompanist and soloist.\u2026 She’s gotten involved in the projects around ‘jam\u00a0 state’ and meaningful silence that I’m peripherally\u00a0 involved in\u2026 It’s\u00a0 fun to have made that connection.

This morning we took off on a hike to see our old house. We walked about 5 miles there and back\u2026 Through light rain. It was lovely. It’s clearly spring here and they’re probably a month ahead of us flowers and leaves and trees and all that business.

This evening was really special\u2026 Larry and Leah hosted a wonderful dinner with my friends Mar and Matt , Larrys aid Heather and her bf Randy and\u00a0 Larry and Leah’s friend Michelle D .. and expert in handwriting analysis. She’s the author of Sex Lies and Handwriting\u00a0<\/a>
. Shes done work for the FBI, many lawyers and all sorts of celebrity.. she’s created a science out of analyzing the white people right to link it to their personality. Dinner was really fun and delicious\u2026 It was great all hanging out then Michelle asked us all to write something\u2026 Anything\u2026 In long hand and she analyzed all of us then the job was for her to read out her descriptions without mentioning the name and having us guess who it was. Some people were really easy.. for example Mar and Larry.. But some people were really difficult\u2026 Including me.\u2026 It was wonderful to hear all the features that she described of people and once you actually associated them, they made a ton of sense. I had lots of ideas going in different directions and sort of like a “composer”\u2026 Seemingly chaotic but then bringing things together at the end.\u2026 I agree with that

Diane’s handw writing said that she’s extremely intelligent (got that!) And grounded. Also dead on. I’ve got to remember the other adjectives.
it was super fun
