How I did it
How to contact 20 old friends
It took me
2 years
It made me
un-lonely

How I did it: I first made a list of people I wanted to get in touch with. I revised this list as I discovered that some people were no longer find-able, adding new people.  Whenever had chanced upon the memory of an old friend, I would add them to my list and try to find them. Read how I did it…

Lessons 4 and 5 2 months ago

Fingerpicking was difficult at first, but I’m getting better with practice. I figured out most of the bass runs for ‘Hobo’s Lullaby’ on my own. Teacher had to correct one of them, but I was really close. In Lesson 4, I officially ‘graduated’ from the ‘Blue Eyes’ and ‘Gold Watch and Chain’ songs, though I need to keep them fresh. In Lesson 5, Teacher ask me to play ‘Blue Eyes’ and I was stumbling a bit, not having practised.

In Lesson 5, she introduced a new song by the Beatles! I was very excited about this one because it uses the ‘hammer on’ technique and new chords, C and Em. The song is ‘I’ve Just Seen a Face.’

I have a lot to work on, but I’m not going to have another lesson until mid-May, so I have a lot of time.

Teach 14 Yoga Classes per week (read all 2 entries…)
Catching up again 3 months ago

I’m still working on this one. I lost four classes last Fall in a bizarre turn of bad luck. I’ve already recovered one of them by finding a new space (the gym I taught at went out of business). I haven’t given up on another (on hiatus because they don’t have a co-ordinator). And I have yet another brand new class in the works.

Right now, I’m up to 9 :-)

Never give up! 3 months ago

I had a really bad month in February when three new classes I was planning all fell through in the same week. I had pretty much given up entirely on the Saturday class I was trying to find space for downtown. Then, suddenly, the issues around the space resolved themselves! I’ve been teaching the class for two weeks and it looks like it’s a go for April as well! Hooray :-)
