Subject: RE: Musicians: How Are You Spending 9/11?
Nothing special really. Went to school, got held up in traffic so I did hear the 8:46 a.m. minute of silence--broadcast on the radio it was, an odd concept but it was really "ambient silence", quite emotionally charged. Spent the day in the technical writing program I am enrolled in, then went for 2 pints with classmates. Got home and got grumped at by Nearest and Dearest for being later than expected due to unplanned pints. Agreed from now on I will make supper on Wednesdays, and the kids will do it Tuesday and Thursday, what a great plan.

Tried to tune an autoharp someone gave me for my birthday. Acquired appreciation for the art of autoharp tuning, and figured out how to do it when I have half a day to spare. (ha). That was the closest I got to playing any music.

I heard a lot on the radio, some of the CBC "Loss and Legacy" special, but only when in the truck.

Watched Buffy. A rerun, fortunately, cause I am disturbed by the newly vengeful Willow and her black lipstick. I like the old Willow. Gosh, a metaphor for something?

Bobert, sorry to hear of your troubles.
