In 2003 while on WestPac on the USS Nimitz, I read the first book in Robert Jordans 'The Wheel of Time' series. Not long after it came out, I read the 'prequel' (book 0?) 'New Spring'. In the past few weeks I've been listening to the 2nd book 'The Great Hunt' on CDs in the car commuting to work. I will have to see if my local library can get additional ones in the series on CDs, because that seems to be the only way I get time to myself for books.

re-learning trombone

I quit playing trombone about 8 years ago, after a huge fight with Terri over schedules. Just last week we visited a music store together, and I have now rented a student model trombone, and after two 1/2 hour practice sessions (just me and some scales) it is starting to sound a bit like an instrument instead of a noisemaker.

Terri really surprised me when she rented a flute and signed up for lessons! First lesson this afternoon while I sleep between night shifts. I really hope she gets along well with the instructor! Terri is very tuned in to personalities, and I'm afraid if she doesn't get a good vibe with the flute instructor, the whole project will go by the wayside. I hope she'll stick with the lessons and then consider joining the volunteer band that I'm planning to join once I get my playing back into shape.
