Good morning MT.... I have a headache, but overall.... so far, so good...but then I am not at work yet

 

[Buka]

Sometimes, over morning coffee, I read our forum. And sometimes it makes me feel that I do not grok anything any more.

 

[granfire]

the morning went like I expected: 5 minutes on the job, already using the F word....
after the initial anxiety attack, things went smooth.

Yesterday, a day off for me, we cooked. Eggplant Parm, pasta, turkey/beef meatballs, crab meat casseroles, white bean and chicken Chile. I'll have great leftovers all week at work.

Barely related thought: I heard an interesting bit of information this morning. Some research in brain studies shows that English-speaking musicians apparently do quite well in hearing the intonations inherent in (they referred to it as "Chinese" - I think it's Mandarin they're referring to) that most English-speakers find so difficult to learn.

I love eggplant parm. My wife makes a fantastic one. I'm still working on the leftovers from some she made earlier in the week. So, eggplant parm for lunch today!

Looks like we might pick up another small project with our current client. I'd like to find a big project, but these do nicely for paying the bills.

that most English-speakers find so difficult to learn.

yeah, mostly cause it sounds strange. I say this mostly because when I hear people speak it I haven't the foggiest clue of what they're saying but still...

Somewhere around age 18, we actually appear to lose the ability to differentiate (learn to recognize) new phonemes. So, we actually perceive multiple sounds from a language as the same sound - it's the reason adults who move to a new country almost never sound like native speakers, even decades later.

My youngest daughter and her hubby finished boarding up their home and evacuated this morning. Waiting to see how much damage the hurricane does.
