    Congrats on taking lessons! It's great that you've found a teacher that you like, so important. What an interesting piece you played. Who is the composer? I think you did a great job! My piano is being tuned Tuesday and I'm thinking of recording the piece I worked on this semester as well.

    I like our oil-filled heater but it just doesn’t get hot enough.

    Good for them! It always bothers me that CEOs of the big tech companies don't allow their own children access to the internet, phones, games until they're no longer children per se. Clearly, they know the hazards of their product for immature brains. https://www.google.com/search?q=what+CEO's+of+big+Tech+forbid+their+children+access+until+they're+older&oq=what+CEO's+of+big+Tech+forbid+their+children+access+until+they're+older&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRiPAtIBCTE5MDc1ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

    I put up our tree shortly after Remembrance Day here - we have a half day off for lieu time for parent teacher conferences on the third Friday of November, so I generally spend that afternoon getting the tree up and decorated. We don’t do much more than that, but I really enjoy the extra light at this time of year!

    I looked it up in on a map. I've been to Syracuse so it's possible I've been to Utica but I doubt it.

    Not sure how representative it is. Young college students in the rural county they describe and then Charlotte which was Kamala +33 in 2024. Sorry to be a buzz kill.
