Today I planted parsley and put the clay pot in the rain.

and on Ebay I bought a clarinet for $21.50 and it works! I’ve been practicing regularly for about a week and am glad to be accomplishing one of my life goals that I have been kicking around for a couple of years. I’m not good at the clarinet. That is, I can’t yet control the random squeaking. But I can play a few songs, and soon I will buy a book. Hooray!
I agree with your comment. I, too, admire people so much who are knowledgeable and able to talk freely. My sense is that I do know things, although there is so much more I want to know, but I don’t know how to organize what I know into free-flowing talk—into conversation. Do I know the wrong kind of things? I’m aware, maybe, but don’t know much deeply, not enough, anyway, to add to conversations going om around me. Maybe I’m afraid of what I know. And what I don’t.
