Thursday

i was doing sonar and underwater acoustics for the navy

at 72 i found a violin in the trash and am trying to learn to play, maybe i'll be able to hit a clear c note if i keep trying. my ambition is to play "love in bloom" (jack benny's theme song)

no, this does not get easy with age, but i think keeping alert and active until our social security stops coming in might help.
