The tablet was not chalky like aspirin and not exactly capsule-slick either. It felt
strange in the hand, curiously sensitive to the touch but at the same time
giving the impression that it was synthetic, insoluble, elaborately engineered.

I watched her sit at the cluttered desk for two or three minutes, slowly rotating
the tablet between her thumb and index finger. She licked it and shrugged.

“Certainly doesn’t taste like much.”

"How long will it take to analyze the contents?”

As I reported yesterday, I made a good start on incorporating the clarinet and bassoon into the Op. 197 Fantasia. It was my intent to work more on that today but I really did not have the steam. I did, however, realize that I needed Todd and Greta to participate in Dark Side of the Sun as well. So I began the inclusion of clarinet and bassoon therein. Good work done. Tomorrow is PT, so I do not count on pursuing that task further until Saturday. Read all about it here, Gentle Reader.
