For a second I thought JAWS must have switched accents on me, it sounded really
cool, New Joizy. Huh, huh!

"If you go without playing the trumpet for one day, no one knows, two days,
only you know, and more than three days without practicing, girl you better
look out, because everyone will know!"
Today, I find myself constantly saying those words, just to get myself going,
to not give up, and it works. Since I learned to play the trumpet at the tender
age of 10, I have spent so much passion and much diligence with that instrument
that I will not give up on it. Sometimes my instrument puts me into awkward
situations where I feel like they won't ever end, but the trumpet gives me a
lot of hope with the majestic, crystal-clear sound it brings to my ears.

Hi there.
MIke, thanks for remembering me mentioning about intentions to scan the book
STONES INTO SCHOOLS by Greg Mortenson.
I do have the book, and was going to do it. But have not yet been able to get
started.
Do you think I might ought just wait and let Bookshare do it?
I would like to get started. But I have to do X, Y, and Z, before I can start.
Sometimes my alphabet soup and To Do list keeps me from being so very
realistic.
But...
Are you pretty interested in proofing it?
If so, and if it has not yet been started by someone, I will try and hop on
the boxcar or Santa's sleight, and get it done.
I have an autographed hardcover in the next room.
U Yust say de woid.
AS Groucho used to say on his tv show all those years ago.
Thanks.
Rik
