A few Baroque Cycle t-shirts arrived, including one with the logo of the Massachusetts Bay Colony Institute of Technologickal Arts, and were received with more relish than most articles of clothing. Something about wearing the emblem of a fictional 18th century institute in the very city in which was supposed to be brings me more pleasure than it ought.

A while back I had the idea of making a t-shirt of the Guidonian Hand with the caption Dic ad manum. on the back. Sadly, one reference is 900 years too old, and the other 10. Still, it’d get a chuckle at the next medieval musicology convention.

A lot of high quality was done today, but somehow I don’t feel satisfied with myself at all. On occasion feels like a few dice in the morning to determine how I will react on any given day. Hardly fair, but that’s really beside the point.
