I forgot how much I love playing the clarinet! My Buffet is hidden somewhere in this house (and it's not like the house is even messy). So I'm stuck playing on the medium-grade clarinets. Luckily, I'd stored my favorite mouthpiece in my office. Otherwise, Heads Would Roll.

My mouth is still a little soft from not playing for a while. It works, though. I cruised around in my old Rose and Weidemann study books. The fingers still remember. They still remember. I'm amazed anew at what the muscles and brain together can remember.

Why the heck am I playing again? I don't know. But it feels good.

What is my purpose? What are my priorities? Why am I here? Will I ever know?

Life is a little tough these days. Taking a break. I will be back with more tales of grasshoppers and compost heaps and scrabble games soon.
It’s January 31. I’m sure you all know what that means! Yes, it’s time to give Marsh some advice. Here’s my little dilemma. I like the way this blog is going. (I know, some of you think it needs a bit more spice, excitement. To quote one reader: “what you need is more scrabble porn.”) But I also want to take advantage of some of the features of livejournal, particularly the community features. So I was thinking about (and actually made) a more scrabble-oriented version at livejournal. Maybe I will take some of my general scrabble posts here and expand upon them over there. I don’t know. I don’t really want to just have two identical blogs. Honestly, though, I don’t want to only post about scrabble over there, either. So. Advise me!
This was in the mail: Life’s Too Short To Clean Your Own House. A lovely brochure, featuring a lovely couple, with two lovely blond children, sitting in a lovely family room. The dad is reading a book with one of the daughters. The mom is laughing over a laptop with the other daughter. A pretty picture. Short answer portion of the quiz: 1. Why did the advertising folks choose to put two girls in the picture instead of a girl and a boy? 2. Why did they choose to have the mom pose with the laptop? 3. Who cleans the housecleaners’ houses? Bonus question: are the perky college students pictured on the inside of the brochure real housecleaners or just models?
