The heat is out.

The heat is out at the Nunnery again. This is the second time in two weeks, and it's been getting down to the mid-20's at night. Last night was cold and tonight looks to be even colder.

Tracie was over last night for a swell dinnerparty and a rough runthrough of dark side of the moon. Tracie is unfamiliar with the material, but she handled the steep learning curve well.

The first theme of the evening was recursion-induced insanity. The second theme of the evening was recursion-induced insanity. The third theme was good times.

The theme of recursion led to several recapitulations/re-enactments of the evening's activities. In fact, here's the map:

1. The evening's activities
2. Recapitulation I
3. Recapitulation II
4. The evening's activities re-enacted
5. Recapitulation I re-enacted
6. Recapitulation II re-enacted
7. Realization

Normally, Tracie would sit in an armless chair, being a violist. But the only other armless chair in the Nunnery was occupied by the pigeon who wants to stay up late.


Which was a little awkward...


because he wouldn't move, even after it became clear that Tracie really wanted to sit down.


He just kept sitting there, staring.


Staring...
