In chapter 22 he discusses focal dystonia, which began to be studied when two musicians "came out" about their problem but which was well-known as "writer's cramp". It has to do with repeated small muscle movements as in handwriting but, noticeably, happens with small cramped handwriting but does not happen with large open-movement writing like shorthand (or classic spencerian). Treatment is uncertain but in one case a combination of Rolfing and Botox helped one pianist, Leon Fleisher.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-78185133795562197542012-02-13T18:58:53.928+00:002012-02-13T18:58:53.928+00:00Beverly from Yosemite:

I flirted with the idea of a temperature scarf, for example: red for the 90's, cool green for 70's, icy blue for the 30's - but gave it up because I really didn't think it was going to be very pretty!<br /><br />Beverly near YosemiteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-83075544687650862852012-02-13T16:00:47.359+00:002012-02-13T16:00:47.359+00:00The Sky scarf fascinates me, too.

At least in my memory, it was never qualified as "The Norman Invasion," it was simply expected that you would know what we were talking about. <br /><br />Perhaps the year is a reflection of the state of the media back then. And I honestly wonder how much the overwhelming media drumbeat of "9/11" has to do with our instant recognition of the tag. I am not in any way playing down the significance of the event ..... my husband and oldest son both worked in the trade center, simply commenting on how often we hear the catch-phrase, even ten-plus years later.<br /><br />Barbara M. in NHBarbara M.noreply@blogger.com
