Nicky started violin lessons this past summer and he's doing pretty well. At yesterday's lesson, he had to pick a card to determine which "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" rhythm he'd play for a warm up, and then pick a card to alter the rhythm somehow. One of the alteration cards he picked was "Who What Where Why When" or something like that. Nicky wasn't sure what that was about, and neither was I. His teacher said she'd ask him questions while he played. He said, "What... like 'who invented Microsoft?' Like Bill Gates?" Ha! What a goof. She just asked him things like "what month is Christmas in?," and so on. No Jeopardy! stuff. When he figured out he was just supposed to play through the distraction of her cross examination, he did okay.
'Prolly will get our Christmas tree this weekend. If we win half a billion dollars tonight, maybe we'll spring for one of them spendy $80 trees at the tree farm. On the other hand, maybe craziness like that is the slippery slope to bankruptcy.
