So, I'm busy doing work, and eating cereal, and listening to my own music, and mom, to relieve stress that wasn't relieved by playing solitaire at the dinner table, sat down at the piano. I have to admit, I really like hearing her play, both the runs she has memorized, the parts she picks at to work on her memorization, and even the cautious stepping while reading the music that she once had completely memorized. I don't have anything memorized on my cello, which is very sad, but I never work on it anymore, which is even more sad. I hope that when I have enough money to get a house, I have enough money to get a piano as well. Not a keyboard, a real piano. I'd almost prefer a piano to a pool table. almost [laughs] I hope I marry a girl who I can teach the song mom was just playing, so that she can come in and sit at the piano while I'm working and just...carry me away to another place and time. A much better interruption than the call to minesweeper [laughs].
