Ebbie, do you really think a beautiful Japanese woman would say "Howdy stranger"? (LOL from me AND Wakana)

Wakana started with student orientation at FD today. Today was for the upper classes. Monday will be for the freshmen. And, kind sweet lady that she is, she gave her students homework at the orientation class!

We went to a little coffeehouse for lunch today. It's near the college and FD. There was a woman in there playing piano. We complimented her playing and got to talking music. There is an electronic jukebox hanging on the wall. I think it downloads music or maybe has a huge hard drive. One of the workers commented (as a joke) that the piano player makes more money in her tip jar than the jukebox makes.

I mentioned that it was the fanciest jukebox I'd seen in a long time but that I didn't believe it could have anything I liked. The piano player asked what that might be and I told her about being a folk singer from Maine. She then launched into what she thought was folk music. She played One Tin Soldier, and some Gordon Lightfoot, and a couple of other things that I vaguely recognized. It was fun.

After that she got her white cane and one of the other workers led her out to the other room for lunch.
