So, so many better things to do OTHER than the dissertation! Lately, I've also been seriously thinking about teaching myself to play the banjo. I don't know why. I can't read music, despite 5 years of piano, 4 years of flute, and one semester of cello which was the worst because you don't even make notes when you get it wrong just dying cow sounds -- but the banjo has seemed like a good idea lately. And I don't even really like banjo music. It is amazing what else you can find to do when there is something that really needs doing. <BR/><BR/>Welcome Jonathan and Yvette!Stewgadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341545093347318440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13280638.post-1119802209938483592005-06-26T12:10:00.000-04:002005-06-26T12:10:00.000-04:00"I don't think I need to be proud, I just need to ..."I don't think I need to be proud, I just need to not be horrified."
