Today, Miriam and I are going to our first in-person thing since getting elastomeric masks. We haven't had them professionally fit-tested yet, but her supervisor has strongly suggested she come to the post-doc appreciation reception they're holding. I'll have to make sure to get a big lunch since we won't be eating until we're back and I'd hate to be really hungry and staring at food I'm unable to eat.

This sort of thing would have been a lot of fun once.

As I sat on a bench at the lake at my turnaround point on yesterday's ride, I felt a lot like I did at times when I was stopped somewhere along the Chicago lakefront on a long ride north to south and back. I sat and ate an energy bar and drank some water and looked at the lake and I felt, in a difficult to describe way, good about being out on my bike in a particular way that I haven't in a long time.

I almost didn't have the motivation to go out, but Miriam helped me. I appreciate her so much.

Why is it So Hard to Find a Good Copy of Prelude in C?

I'm spending more than five or ten minutes at the piano for the first time since my dad died, and it feels really good.

It was also feeling confusing because the final -fanfare? flourish? I don't know the right term - of the last two measures of Bach's Prelude in C just wasn't sounding right. I decided I had to watch someone play it so I pulled up Rousseau's rendition on Youtube and it didn't match my sheet music. I looked for other copies of the sheet music and *they* didn't match my sheet music.

In measure 33, my sheet (copyright MichaelKravchuk.com: I printed a new one because the other one disappeared in the move) says the left hand plays B B C as a slur. In all the other versions I just looked at, it plays a tied C C C. It seems that even though I'd printed a copy without that annoying Schwenck measure, it had this error instead!
