February 20, 2010: Quiet Saturday

It’s supposed o be a gray day, but there is a little sun this morning. I like it. The warmth yesterday did a little melting, but we are a real long way from getting the snow off the ground.

Greg said he might be available for a hike this afternoon, but I am going to hike this morning. If I do both it will be great exercise. Not like I can’t use it.

The ground at the Narrows is getting a little icy with all the snow packed down and the little melt on top then refreezing to ice. The stairs are the biggest pain. I just took it slow.

Received an email from the library today, my books on tape are due Tuesday. I tried to renew them, but as luck would have it the only tape I haven’t finished is not renewable. I will see if I can get through it this weekend. It’s doable, but I wasn’t looking to rush through it.

Worked mostly on the guitar today so I could get through a few more discs on the book that is due. I did work the dulcimer for a little while. I am going to stick with the Stephen Seifert lesson tunes. I would like to get to a point where I those memorized. Boil Them Cabbage Down was real easy since it is basically series of fours. The “B” part was not real hard to add since the added part is repeated three times and then it goes back to the basic patter in the first part. Lynchburg town is the next one in the book and should be relatively easy to memorize. Once I review it I usually can get through it with only a little glance at the music occasionally. I don’t know if I will be like those people that can stand up there and have tunes called out and they just play them.

Watched a cute Eddie Murphy movie, Imagine That, with Judy. Eddie Murphy plays a divorced Dad with a little girl that has a security blanket that she uses to talk to imaginary friends. The Imaginary friends just happen to be great stock pickers. They help Eddie with his career a a stock broker. Typical  Eddie Murphy kid movie kind of stuff, but fun non the less.
