Isn’t the view of Shasta more impressive on the drive as well?

My hands smell like gamey tomato vines, cinnamon, dill, a bit of musk, a touch of cedar, and grape–what do yours smell like?

(In a few hours they will reek of iron)

Doing a happy dance, because isn’t my university cool for having added a couple more sections of the Saturday 7am class I enrolled in, allowing me to switch it to Friday at 8am?

Chickens!?

Why wasn’t Charm Academy on? Is it because the DJ for that show now hosts the Blue Note and doesn’t have time for charm academy? Does that mean no more charm academy? What will I do without of weekly dose of girl groups, classical soul, and french pop?

Have you not heard of the rock and soul ichiban from WFMU? With a weekly dose of girl group awesomeness called Crayons To Perfume?

Haven’t you figured out yet that 7 to 8 hours’ drive is the magic time, under which it’s less time and hassle to drive than take a plane? Especially if you need non-public transportation at the destination? And if you’re going somewhere so remote that you’re guaranteed at least one layover to switch to a tinier plane, you can up the time to more like 10-12 hours’ drive?

And wouldn’t that be the reason we were on our ill-fated cross-country drive to my daughter’s summer program?

In related news, got switched to a waterproof cast this week, to set my arm more straight…and isn’t it wonderful to be able to do things involving liquids without a plastic mitten covering one arm?

Ever tell you about the time I had an old school, heeeavy arm-and-shoulder cast, took a nap with it laying across my torso, and my chest fell asleep!? as in no blood circulation in the skin of my chest?

It didn’t hurt, but have I ever felt anything weirder?

Isn’t 7 to 8 hours also my families driving limit…Or maybe closer to 9 hours?

Okay, I think I know the answer to this, but just need some semi anonymous validation–and this is a serious question (don’t I always say that as a set up for a non serious question? :D)

In my Celtic band we need a few more instruments, such as old school flute, pipes (Northumbrian small pipes, not highland), and dobro. I can play all of them, but each one will take four months to get back up to speed (especially the flute, my embouchure is eight years out of date). And it will take me from four instruments to seven instruments and an amp for gigs.

Should I? Or accept that “it won’t sound quite right”? It is realistically 14 months of practice and almost doubling my gear load… But jebus it would sound good… How crazy should I be?
