Celebrating one year of inactivity...oh, damn.

Well, it's now been one year since the last post here. I see that the Blogger interface has changed considerably.

Anyhow, if you're wondering if I'm planning to resurrect the blog, probably not. But there are still occasionally things that I want to post. For instance, the other day we were eating at Fuddrucker's in Emeryville after watching House of Flying Daggers. The sound system was playing the usual extra-schmaltzy Christmas-season music, when suddenly, I noticed an extraordinarily familiar melody: the Troika from the Lt. Kije Suite. You can color me pleasantly surprised.

There's a couple of longer posts which will appear here in the next couple of days.
