May I suggest that everything not involving bookstores, moving about in
submarines, cats or quanta be put on hold for 24 hours?  Time enough to
pick things up again after that once people have stopped to breathe.  And
yes, "everything" includes the British or any other government as well or,
given the current temper, we'll have people arguing about the Mongols or
some such.

And yeah, I'm taking my own advice.  I do have one email that has to go out
but all the stuff that I've written -- and rewritten, and rewritten, and
that doesn't include what I've deleted outright -- tonight is set so that
it can't be sent until I actively pull it up again and make a decision on it.

Not easy, but at least helped by listening to Gregorian chant rather than
other things for about an hour.  If anyone remembers the difference between
the notation used then and the one that's used now could they reply under a
different subject line?  I used to know but my mental image is fuzzy.  I
know that it was done with square notes rather than round and seem to
recall that it was a staff of only five lines.
