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.

It was like receiving a surprise MRI --This made me laugh... and also tells me something I didn't know about an MRI!

Congratulations--this sounds lovely. The amount of wonderful stuff you do, in spite of everything, inspires and impresses me. Looking forward to watching the webcast!

(Now collapse deeply and restoratively please!)

In the spirit of the prize itself!

(SO LOUD.)

Thank you! Enjoy! There's so much in the ceremony.

(I did my best. I am now into the childcare part of the day.)
