After Dachau by Daniel Quinn

I had written up a brief plot synopsis, but then my computer puked on me and it got deleted.



Perform jazz again
Itching to play

I’ve spent most of the day listening to jazz. This has been a day of nostalgia. When I was in high school, and for part of college, I was very heavily into playing jazz trumpet. I played in many groups and would play for hours every day. Playing shows was something I really loved to do.

My goal here is to clear off the rust and at least get back to being a passable jazz trumpet player. Then I’d like to find a small group to join, maybe only for a show here and there.

I’ve ordered a Silent Brass system so that I can practice in my apartment. I’ll likely only play a few times a week because I want to focus on guitar, but it will be nice to play an instrument that I’m already good at.



Get out more
Book club

I joined a book club in town. The club meets once a month, and I already attended my first meeting. It was enjoyable to sit down and discuss a book. Usually I don’t have anyone to discuss the books I’ve read with. Having an in-depth discussion on one was quite nice.
