"What did you do today, Beth?"
Well, I got lunch with an old friend from Kentucky I haven’t seen in a while, then I did a tv interview and found someone’s lost phone, which I gave to the MBTA employee.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta go to Cape Cod and play sousaphone at a bakery.

Milch und kaffee

Jittery Americans…

Things I've learned this week
Maybe it’s a better idea to set dates, venues, and permissions first, THEN find groups to play on those dates….

Things I've learned this week
Unemployment gives me time to think. Too much time, actually, about every 4th day I get a little crazy, and Bella-cat and I start having conversations. But I’m trying to structure my limited free time as best I can, so here’s the first installment of: WHAT I’M LEARNIN’ ABOUT LIFE!
