We acquired my mother-in-law's piano when she moved to a retirement community.  No one really plays, but a couple of years ago I took an evening class called "Piano in a Flash" at our local campus.  It was taught by Scott Houston, who you now see a lot on PBS, especially during fund drives.  He made a lot of sense to me and I've been able to play a little.  I don't have much time right now to devote to it, but I'd like to delve more into his methods.  He's online at:
www.scottthepianoguy.com

I've seen his show as well.  I liked it but told myself that I've tried so many times and spent so much money on trying to learn that enough is enough.  I bought that Patty Carlson "Play Piano Over Night" DVD but it really didn't teach how to read music or play anything.

Trust me, Danise, if Scott the Piano Guy made sense to me, he'd make sense to anybody!

Danise I returned to page 3 and your photos.  Your lemon "tree" has reappeared.  :o

Very pretty Lemon Tree DR Danise. I hope that the flowers are sweet and that the fuit is NOT impossible to eat. The Lemon tree is supposedly the most common plant to be in an Australian garden.

How much mix would a Mix Master Mix if a Mix Master could Master mixing?

Oy!  I'll get that right yet.

Thank you, DR Tom.  I bought it because it said it was the sweeter kind of lemon.  We'll see.

Uh oh, methinks I hear fireworks going off and a "wolf" or "woof" at the back door.  Let me go let Bear the Fearless in.

Hi, elmore - did you know that Danise, Jane, and I are communicating about our get together in NYC the week of Oct. 3?  I've already made my hotel reservation (same place, Comfort Inn-Midtown).

How are you feeling tonight?

I'm back.  

We're calling it, "Girls Day/Night Out With The Guys" because we want everyone to come out and play.  

I'm hoping we can talk DR Jose into a walking/eating tour during the day then dinner with those who couldn't make it for the day tour then maybe a show or just go someplace to chat for desert then maybe night cap then someone can roll me down the street to the hotel.  Note the main theme of the day/night:  EAT!   :D  ;D

Of course, as I've said, I'm open to any other ideas as well.

Oz the Great and Terrible knows everything.  I actually feel pretty good; thanks for asking.  I'm very sleepy right now, so I'll probably be in bed in another 30 minutes.

Thanks for asking. I'll be more "myself" after tomorrow when I return to the hospital (for an hour or so!) to enter the next stage! Day by day is better. I'm getting that trapped in the house feeling so that's a good sign.

I'm back.  We managed to finish in one day, and I'll listen to it tomorrow to see if I have any fixes.  Whew.  Tomorrow Vinnie will address the couple of nitpicky changes on Guy Haines.  And then, those are done.

By the way Jane, did you ever watch those LAWMAN episodes? If so did Peter Brown make you as weak in the knees as when you were a young(er) girl?

Some thoughts from days gone by...
A circus movie I like that nobody mentioned, I think,  is called CARNIVAL STORY with the great Steve Cochran and also Anne Baxter as a high-dive artist.

My favorite part of the Indy 500 is it brings Jim Nabors back to the mainland for him to sing "Back Home Again in Indiana". I trust he sang it again this year. I saw no coverage in the wilds of Vermont and New Hampshire where I roamed.
