Re:

birthday/?

I almost get it....

Yes! You beat my family. (How'd you know?)

I celebrated in Beijing by (i) developing the Sleep/Dream proposal we discussed, (ii) lunch with an MNC CEO, and (iii) playing two hours of intense table tennis with a top coach.

You've got a jumbo-sized right superior parietal lobe.

Didn't know. Meaning of the rest note?

Mahler's 5th opens with the same rhythmic motif (but 4th note is the same as the first three, not lower as in Beethoven's) - Mahler's 5th is my favorite symphony.

you mentioned it at my house. unfortunately , I cant avoid remembering numbers

for me it is tied to music. beethovens fifth, is 555-3. though unbeknownst to most people the first note ( you can verify, by looking at the score ) , ♫ is a rest note ( silent ) so 0-555-3

its not ba ba ba- bah . its regular (ba ) ba ba ba- bah. regular four eighth notes , but the first is not sounded . changes the whole dynamic and wildly misunderstood

are you having fun?
