I got up very early this morning, got in a decent walk, and also later walked down to recycle cardboard, go to the local market, and go to the bakery to get challah and sufganiot (jelly-filled donuts, eaten for khanukah -- and for MONTHS before here in Israel, apparently!), all before breakfast.
I taught 6 units of Berlitz lessons today, the maximum possible for my Friday availability: 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00, and 12:00-1:30. Then we went to lunch at Il Pentolino and had our traditional dishes there.
At candle-lighting time, we lit candles, drank sweet red wine, and ate challah and sufganiot to welcome the Shabbat.
This afternoon and evening I began work on my project for this week for Introduction to Programming for Musicians and Digital Artists. It has to be in the Phrygian mode, so I decided to write a 3-part ricercare (an early predecessor of the fugue). I've got it prototyped in Digital Performer (so I can see the notes and hear how they sound); now I've got to get it programmed in ChucK, to be followed by lots of editing, no doubt.
