That's because you've been working

I am returned from singing in the 29th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony. I had a wonderful time. You can watch the webcast! I am tragically not on camera at least one of the times I was shouting at the accordion player, but you can watch me know-it-all to the music of Bach just fine. I have glasses and a frequently aghast expression.

Tomorrow I get up early to help with childcare and in the evening attend the opening of The Revenger's Tragedy; Saturday I start rehearsing in Yiddish again; right now I'm going to collapse. My ears are still ringing because the chorus applauded with its clickers for the bows. It was like receiving a surprise MRI.

I enjoy very much being onstage. It used to be a staple feature of my life and now it is an intermittent opportunity. I should find out how to change that.

An auditorium full of funny science and paper airplanes seems a good place to start.

This is the first time I've seen you perform, and you were fun to both listen to and watch. And I'm glad you're involved with Igs! Igs folks are your kind of people.

Thank you! I didn't realize you'd never seen me perform before. It was fun to sing.

And I'm glad you're involved with Igs! Igs folks are your kind of people.

I like all the ones I've met so far!

I'm glad you were there.
