There’s something about bellydancing that has always fascinated me. I can’t describe it. The music is so hypnotic, the movements seem almost natural. When thoughts like these come to me, it’s obvious that I was adopted, because there is certainly nothing in the background of my adoptive family that would ever lead me to consider such a direction. My parents liked to jitterbug and waltz—both of which I love, as well, having done ballroom dance for a while. Lots of fun,... Read more
Oh, this is just the coolest. I’ve just discovered Pandora Radio (www.pandora.com), a FREE streaming internet radio site, and I really like it. I get to make what they call a “radio station” with all or only the music I like. I’ve made about five stations so far, and it’s actually had to limit myself.

I don’t know why this blog has sort of become a platform for my complaining about housework, but I think it... Read more

We’re still madly cleaning the house for the inspection tomorrow morning at 11:30 a.m. So there won’t be much of a post today. In fact, yesterday we were tearing home from Ohio, where my friend John replaced my brakes. It was a bigger job than either of us anticipated, and so Sophia and I were driving home at nearly illegal speeds, just so that I could make it home in time to post to my blog. And I did. But...

So this is it, and I’m working on the tune and chords now, but I don’t quite know how to add the piano music to the blog post. You can butter my toast, dear Any time that you like.
