I DON'T LIKE THIS BLOG ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO  MUSE APPROVED ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** 30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT for January 7, 2020 What skill (craft, instrument, sport, art, etc) do you wish you could do but can’t? What’s stopping you from learning? Save and Edit I lost my first entry because my laptop crashed. I was sitting there considering the merits of skills. I wondered if 'instruments' referred to 'musical instruments' because I'd wish to be able to play the saxophone. I wrote a little blurb about how I took clarinet lessons in school, but it didn't work out for me. The wooden reed in the mouthpiece was unfinished, and it was (like fingernails on a chalkboard) bothersome to me. When I blew into it the reed would vibrate and annoy my teeth, then there was this horrid squeaky high pitched squeal which hurt my ears. I swear I would have busted that clarinet across my knee if my dad didn't first demand that I never bring that fucking flute home from school ever again. I sat there giggling to myself about how the clarinet was a second choice instrument because I had first tried the trumpet, but dad told me, "If you blow that horn one more time I'll wrap it around your fucking neck." What I found funny was, after my experience with the trumpet and clarinet (and I didn't even mention my recorder concertos from grade school) What on earth makes me think playing the saxophone is a good idea? Then, snap! Blue screen of death. Save and Edit Sunset Bay temperature today is currently -22 with a windchill factor which makes it feel like -31 (that's Celsius) There's a winter storm heading our way that will deliver 30CM of snow (nearly 2 feet for those still on the ancient system of measurement) Team Canada won 'GOLD' in the World Jr. Hockey Tournament. These two news tidbits tell me that winter is here, and I've strayed off course on today's blog prompt. Toodle loo |

your comment. I've done some time curled up. The thumb-sucking never gets old, but the games get boring, and once you've seen all the videos the real world becomes a welcome lifestyle change.
