There will always be some sort of bogus crap such as the Microchips as well as typos in my post. I’ll worry about that on my webpage which is the next task. Its only 4:38AM. Nancy is almost off to the airport to pick up Alice.
My friend Mark and I are contemplating a screenplay which I’ll send off to Sundance for a movie called The Blue Flute. It is similar in concept to The Red Violin - especially with the (Spoiler alert!) blood letting at the end. It will trace the sordid history of “Blue Louie” - the cast Cobalt Glass flute by Laurent in my Web Page header once owned by Louis Bonaparte. It will feature the White House burning down as the Madisons flee to Montpelier’s safety, the January Insurrection, Ray Troll and Kirk Johnson who are also characters in my opera The Subduction of Salvelinus which just got a shot of energy (another Cyclothymic symptom!). Yes I will post stuff about the (currently 2) comic operas in my head. In Subduction, the absent-minded rancher who opens a gate and drains Lake Klamath has metastacized (typo alert) into Ammon Bundy and his gang - although the main guy will be called Bundy Finnacum. His underling will be Levoy Hawley. Both die in the opera from a stingray sting - for Levoy it will hit him in the crotch.
Given peoples’ attention spans they will forget these spoilers soon after instead of stealing my ideas - assuming they ever read them (see the link below). I have sent off some 5000 flutes since the first ones in 1983 and have always included Care Instructions. Nobody ever reads those and I have spent about half of my career explaining or interpreting my care instructions into the English language for the people who never read them. See https://caseyburnsflutes.com/folkflutecare.pdf
Care instructions for the Laurent Glass Flutes will be much easier to understand and will be included as a few case and bumper stickers. It will say in bright red lettering “Do Not Drop!!!” No need to say anything about Oiling, Humidity, Cracks, etc. They will ask about tenons and I’ll send them the Folk Flute Care link. That will really confuse them.
Now for some random shots so you can say You Saw it on the Intranets, starting with data from my CPAP machine showing my Cyclothymic sleep cycle. If yours is like this one, contact me for more info - seriously. My life is a roller coaster. The Y dimension is how many hours I am sleeping (below the line) or staying in bed thinking if I could only get a few more moments of sleep. I am fooling myself but then get kind of hypersomniac. There are a few moments in between when one must really get up before its too late. This period of clear headedness can last as little as 5 seconds. This is the most important thing to recognize at least in my case and getting up then gives one a normal and happy day!
