Need a walking stick after playing lute...

So I've been playing baroque guitar a lot lately and not so much renaissance lute, but now that Thanksgiving is past, I've dug up a couple of books of Christmas music arranged for lute and have been playing lute a lot more. I'd actually forgotten what it feels like to lose all feeling in one leg... and then get it all back, all at once, all pins and needles.

In case you're wondering: for guitar my legs are parallel and tend to get plenty of circulation, for lute I cross one leg over the other to cradle the lute and then tend to lose circulation in one leg.

On a completely unrelated note, today my wife accused me of being sesquipedalian, which strikes me as a textbook example of a pot-calling-the-kettle-black situation. :-)
