today

I was, thankfully, bitten by just one ant at the bus stop this morning. I have read things about fire ants and now I can say I have seen and touched them. The saxophone repairer to whom I have now entrusted my high-heat solder job works very early hours, beginning at 3am some days. This would be convenient for dropping off a damaged horn after a particularly heavy handed rendering of Night and Day during the last set.
