    The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways. The comments are by Riddle Sideways.

     

    Riddle Sideways: thank you, Listener Master
    Storm Nordwind: Good morning!
    Riddle Sideways: looks outside... yes, Good Morning
    Storm Nordwind: ")
    Riddle Sideways: was distracted looking up more tabs
    Storm Nordwind: aha!


    Riddle Sideways: heard that strange screaming animal again about 4:21am
    Storm Nordwind: Surrounded by so many screens, each with its own tabs and icons with badges and...
    Riddle Sideways: kinda like a cat badly fighting
    Riddle Sideways: or a dog bark-howl-yelp
    Storm Nordwind: Reminds me of something I used to hear back in England
    Riddle Sideways: was probably in the driveway
    Riddle Sideways: then moved very quickly to some distance
    Riddle Sideways: one tab says it might be a red fox
    Storm Nordwind: There were two very dissimilar animals that sounded very similar. Took a while to decide which one.
    Storm Nordwind: One was indeed a red fox
    Riddle Sideways: at the speed it moved it could have been a bird. Peacocks make bad noises
    Riddle Sideways: but not like this
    Storm Nordwind: No. If it moves quickly, it's a screech owl
    Riddle Sideways: ha
    Riddle Sideways: *Ah
    Storm Nordwind: Not sure what the correct name is or even the local CA one
    Storm Nordwind: Or it could be more than one and they're calling to each other
    Riddle Sideways: many big owls in this area
    Riddle Sideways: don't think it was more than one. it never made a sound close again
    Riddle Sideways: then the dogs way away got excited
    Storm Nordwind: Which tends towards a fox
    Storm Nordwind: But unless you see you won't know. But at least you know it's one of two very dissimilar things now :)
    Riddle Sideways: narrows it right down to ... not known


    Riddle Sideways: the second set of tabs will take a while to find
    Storm Nordwind chuckles
    Riddle Sideways: while making dinner there was a fascinating show on
    Riddle Sideways: about studying brains in EKG machines
    Storm Nordwind is reminded to put the soup on for dinner earlier than later... :)
    Storm Nordwind: Now do you mean what the Brits call ECG machines?
    Riddle Sideways: yes, marinated the artichokes all night
    Riddle Sideways: maybe
    Storm Nordwind: cardio
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: no, this was brain
    Storm Nordwind: cephalo
    Riddle Sideways: and jazz musicians playing memorized sections vs. improv
    Storm Nordwind: Anyway, I know what it is now :)
    Riddle Sideways: then moved to stand-up improv experts
    Storm Nordwind: Oh cool
    Riddle Sideways: spend an hour in the machine
    Riddle Sideways: doing written material
    Riddle Sideways: then total improv
    Riddle Sideways: and word association
    Storm Nordwind: Speculations? Conclusions? Pointers to further research?
    Riddle Sideways: sorry, was off looking
    Riddle Sideways: search is not helping
    Riddle Sideways: there are some TED talks
    Riddle Sideways: some about Rappers creativity studied also
    Riddle Sideways: darn, want to re-hear while not distracted
    Riddle Sideways: ok ok ok


    Riddle Sideways: - did you listen to the Paul McCartney vid yesterday
    Riddle Sideways: seems to be viral
    Riddle Sideways: a look around Liverpool
    Storm Nordwind: It does and no I didn't. Surprisingly busy yesterday. Weird time. Maybe today. :)
    Storm Nordwind: So long since I lived in Liverpool. One of the 40+ addresses I had.
    Riddle Sideways: the late night talk show host driving a car around Liverpool. Paul pointing to sites
    Riddle Sideways: supposedly surprise visits to his family's home.
    Storm Nordwind: I wonder if it has changed much in the 40 years since I lived there. Some places do. Some not.
    Riddle Sideways: Always makes one wonder about the 20 camera people and assistants setting up for the surprise
    Storm Nordwind: Er yes
    Storm Nordwind: "Surprise"
    Riddle Sideways: bet the big church he pointed at would be the same
    Riddle Sideways: and the 50+ fans that surrounded the house during the unknown surprise visit
    Storm Nordwind: Some mid-size churches get turned into nice studio apartments with mezzanines.
    Riddle Sideways: how did they know?
    Storm Nordwind: Tip-off
    Storm Nordwind: Rent-a-fan
    Riddle Sideways: Paul would not need
    Riddle Sideways: the late show guy might
    Storm Nordwind nods


    Riddle Sideways: sorry, face cat distractions-obstructions
    Storm Nordwind: Some of the best kind!
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: when internet search does not find something. One starts to think it was dreamed, make up or did not happen
    Storm Nordwind: Yes!
    Storm Nordwind: But maybe they're gaslighting you.
    Riddle Sideways: well, it is working
    Storm Nordwind: You must have been getting too close to discovering who "they" were.
    Riddle Sideways: another one of the pronoun uncovers
    Riddle Sideways: almost found it, but won't give links to Forbes because of adverts, pop-ups, etc.
    Storm Nordwind: right

    Riddle Sideways: machine was fMRI
    Storm Nordwind: Now THAT makes sense
    Storm Nordwind: A while ago right? Couple of years?
    Riddle Sideways: on going it seems
    Storm Nordwind: Ah. Didn't know that
    Riddle Sideways: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles...016.00597/full
    Riddle Sideways: has less ads
    Riddle Sideways: but, not as entertaining
    Storm Nordwind: 2016. Couple of years. Aha. At least my own memory was validated! ;)
    Riddle Sideways: and there were some 2014
    Storm Nordwind: And 2012
    Riddle Sideways: found newest one (last night's). https://www.pri.org/stories/2018-05-...r-brain-improv
    Riddle Sideways: a replay from May
    Storm Nordwind: Cool- thank you!


    Riddle Sideways: now, wondering about how it got re-played
    Riddle Sideways: in a dream, in head?
    Storm Nordwind: So I get science AND humor? Great :)
    Riddle Sideways: in an alternate
    Riddle Sideways: and musician creativitis
    Riddle Sideways: and left-right brains
    Storm Nordwind: front-back inner-outer
    Riddle Sideways: round the mullberry bush


    Riddle Sideways: "Oh, you know all the words, and you sung all the notes, But you never quite learned the song, she sang."
    Riddle Sideways: The Hedgehog Song
    Storm Nordwind: ISB :)
    Riddle Sideways: yes! thought you would know them
    Storm Nordwind: hehe!
    Storm Nordwind: natch
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: spent a little time in that genre
    Storm Nordwind: Definitely had a crush on Miss McKechnie :)
    Riddle Sideways: smiles


    Riddle Sideways: am going to a small music fest this weekend and was reading interview with one of the main organizers. Wavy Gravy
    Storm Nordwind: Cool!!
    Riddle Sideways: http://katewolfmusicfestival.com/wavy-gravy/ for a fun read
    Storm Nordwind: I'm not jealous. At least only as jealous as I was when an old school friend got in touch the other day after nearly 50 years and told me of his guitar-henge...
    Riddle Sideways: yep, no big deal. Don't read the lineup.
    Storm Nordwind: Tom Paxton is still going?!! Wow
    Riddle Sideways: yep. and the whole Chappin family
    Storm Nordwind shakes his head in amazement
    Riddle Sideways: David Bromberg took 25 years off to own a music store and make instruments


    Riddle Sideways: Well friend, the anxiety level in another part of the house is rising too high
    Storm Nordwind: uh oh
    Storm Nordwind: Thank you for all that :))
    Riddle Sideways: packing up items
    Riddle Sideways: the giving of tabs
    Storm Nordwind: hehe
    Riddle Sideways: for your spare time :)))
    Storm Nordwind: What is this concept of "spare" time?
    Riddle Sideways: Happy Writing
    Storm Nordwind: Thank you. Bye for now :)
    Riddle Sideways: thank you
