My violin professor called me a natural. She told me it was a shame I hadn't started when I was a child.
I bought a copy of "On the Road." I know Kerouac wrote it to try to point out to people how inane their lifestyle choice was, but at the same time.... It's just like Fitzgerald writing "The Great Gatsby" to show people how vacant the idle rich are. The message gets misconstrued.
Lab is going ok. I may have to start working with NaCNBH3, which I don't want to do because it turns into HCN gas on contact with acid. (Cyanide is the common name for hydrocyanic acid, HCN.) This is only if the NaB(OAc)3H doesn't work... so let's hope it does.
