I must have had Josef Bayer on the brain for some reason. In a former job, Bayer's ballet, which translates as something like "Puppet Fairy", was the source of much amusement for no better reason than we just liked the way it sounded when we said it. Apparently it takes more than a couple of decades of dissipation and horn playing (or it this an reverse oxymoron?) to loosen up the synapses and get rid of certain" idees fixe".
