1. Stuff done these weeks - Studied from Burkholder et al. (2014); please find my notes below. - Recorded two songs with Crimson Inc.. - Trying to find a temporary place for my wife and child. In January we have to leave our apartment, which has been sold. Both excited and anxious. Our new house - which shall be built next year - will be great, I'm sure. - Getting the paperwork sorted for the mortgage. - Training for a new system (ServiceNow) for my work. I need to review my old lessons on JavaScript. - Trying to write "Red Wing"  (traditional) in music notation. My teacher let me listen to this beautiful version by Mark Howard:  https://open.spotify.com/track/35nTsH8eLzlCLLwqKhBybY . I am writing down the melody played by the mandolin. It is coming along nicely. This exercise is good ear training and helping me practice music notation. - Practicing "Arkansas Traveller"  , "Saint Anne's Reel"  and "Little Rabbit"  - all tradition
