Thinking Leads to Stuff...

I've been trying to come up with some ideas about how to celebrate our anniversary next month as I don't care to spend a couple hundred $$ on a gourmet meal, as for me food passes out in about 4 hours and I'd like to do something that will last longer than the next bowel movement, so I've been trying to come up with ideas in which Pooky and I might do something different.

Pooky isn't of a romantic nature, so my requests for such things, as I have learned, meets with about as much enthusiasm as being told you need a root canal.

Since Pooky has been working on writing a novel, I thought a writer's workshop would be just the thing. Only they run expensive! So I thought I'd look at our local community college and sure enough, they offer some classes, and reasonable prices, too! Darn thing is, classes are already in session, but should resume in April. Sounds like a plan to me!

While I was looking into the continuing education offerings I found that there is a community orchestra! No audtions required, and all you need is high school playing experience, which I have, so all I need to do is find out how much a monthly cello rental will cost! I could be making music again in just a few weeks!

I've been thinking about getting back into making music, but it is hard to practice and be musical in isolation, and I so enjoy being in an orchestra and greating an awesome sound! I have tons of music books that I bough about 6 years ago when I took up the cello after a 10 year hiatus. Lots of beginner's stuff to refresh my ability to read music, etc.

*Zing! Zing * I am psyched about the idea of playing cello again! I just hope that the rental is reasonable. Before I was able to rent a cello for about $30 a month, which is totally affordable. I believe I still have my music tuner, but will need to get some rosin, and somewhere I still have my end-pin holder (sometimes referred to as donut).

Since we have hardwood floors the end-pin will not stay in place and will scratch the floor, thus the need for a stopper for it. What's even more cool is that the college is within walking distance of our house (a good reason for me to start building my strength back up).

I've come to life with the idea of it! Thinking leads to stuff! But this is the good kind of stuff! Oh, I do hope this will work out! I really would enjoy doing this!
