Well howdy, fans! It has been a while since my last blog. Why? Life, that’s why. But I’m still here. I’m still plucking- and I’ll be turning 50 soon. There are big changes out there just waiting to be discovered. This has been a year of questioning- everything. Like- why does 3 glasses of redContinue reading “50-shmifty and still plucking..”

Nutella
Like so many of you, I caught the “Hey-It’s a quarantine. I’m working from home. Why don’t I exercise?” bug. While it is obviously not as bad as catching Covid-19, there are times when I thought I might die. I mean, I got my free weights out, attempted a few sit-ups, felt like a rockContinue reading “Nutella”
Us “Artsy” types..
A few years ago, one of my student’s parents was commenting about someone she knew. She said, “You know how artsy people are? Well, she’s an artsy type. No offense. “ I smiled and nodded, but inwardly- I was thinking- Huh? No offense? What did she mean by ‘no offense‘? I’d been called many thingsContinue reading “Us “Artsy” types..”
Wine and dogs 1. Exercise 0.
Sooooo I started the current virus quarantine thinking- Wow, I’ve got extra time to actually get a workout in after 5am for a change! What I didn’t reaaaallly think through was the fact that I also had more time for other things. Like eating. Drinking. Watching Netflix in yoga pants until my butt made aContinue reading “Wine and dogs 1. Exercise 0.”
Bird Watching on Easter
We’ve been waiting for roughly 36 days, and Easter, of all days, we were surprised with an abundance of bouncing baby ducks. I couldn’t have been happier. Mom duck had been patiently sitting on her eggs (next to my garage) for weeks- usually with 2 male sentries nearby to scare off predators. It was likeContinue reading “Bird Watching on Easter”
Social Distancing Cocktail Club
Due to the recent virus, many of my students bailed on their lessons yesterday (even the ones who Skype- really??). I found I had been suddenly blessed with even more time on my hands than usual. I know- one would think practicing would be the first thing a musician with extra time would think ofContinue reading “Social Distancing Cocktail Club”
“Blursday, the Fortyteenth of Maprilay”
Have you ever completely lost track of the day/date/time? The ‘Rona’ as my friends are calling it, has everyone working in their yards, communicating with their kids, drinking with buddies via Skype (try it- it’s awesome), baking bread, binging Netflix shows like Tiger King and the third season of Ozark…. basically doing anything to fillContinue reading ““Blursday, the Fortyteenth of Maprilay””
Virtual Happy Hour
Last night I attended my first virtual happy hour. I chose beer instead of wine- which is always more sensible in my case. After 2 beers, I might be a bit cheeky- but after 2 glasses of wine? Let’s just say I don’t need that on social media. I’ve always been a happy person. IContinue reading “Virtual Happy Hour”
Remote working ..
Today, I worked from home with Motown blaring in the background as I sifted through spreadsheets. I wondered if this pandemic business would last forever and found myself pondering whether or not I should get that masters in enthnomusicology for the 100th time or get a bartending license. Here’s the deal – I don’t wantContinue reading “Remote working ..”
