Maybe it's my inner Feynman, but I drum. With my fingers. On the edge of
the desktop. Over the years I have increased my repertoire to consist
solely and entirely of the "Wipeout" drum solo. I've gotten pretty good
at it.
When I left one job, one of the lovely parting gifts I received from my
co-workers was a set of drumsticks. Nice ones, too. Still have 'em.
