So yesterday morning I hit the farmers market. My staff had a luncheon scheduled. Each staff person was to bring a dish to pass. I thought a nice roasted asparagus salad would be nice.
After roasting with lots of garlic I let it cool and spread shredded Zingerman’s Parmesan cheese on it to melt.
Mmm, mmm. It made an excellent salad. I also could not resist the strawberries. I chose the most beautiful ones and laid them on a couple pieces of lettuce.
This morning I got up and played through the Ab prelude and fugue by Bach from WTC I. I thought it might be fun to see if I could tape it with my phone. Here’s the result.
It doesn’t sounds as bad here as it does on my phone. If the prelude is messed up, I tried to use YouTube’s suggested edit for it. Not sure what it did since it’s still processing it.
Anyway. I guess it might be fun to throw up videos like this once in a while. I am thinking I might record Sunday’s prelude and postlude today. We’ll see if I have time. I have some fun music stuff scheduled for today. My trio this afternoon and Rhonda the pianist/organist extraordinaire has consented to come to my abode and play piano duets with me.

Some of this ran through my head when I read Snowden’s assessment of Hong Kong as a bastion of free speech.
A blow for coherence and freedom.

I am not sure how it “would be fun to throw up videos”. Its never fun vomiting at all let alone some videos. Your salad looked good.

Har. Har. You are right about vomiting. Thanks for the compliment on the salad. And thanks for reading….
