    Definitely overpriced.

    Same piano but with a gloss finish.

    👍

    Thanks. Readily available around here.

    My world traveling neighbor used to bring me something local, often a food item, from the countries she traveled to. One year she went to Hungary and brought back some fabulous paprika.

    Which Hungarian paprika did you buy?

  • The Shaolin monastery and the NBA basketball player

    MASTER YAN'AN HAS trained at the Shaolin Temple in the Henan province of China since he was 6 years old. He has climbed the roughly 1,500 stone steps up Wuru Peak to the Bodhidharma Cave thousands of times. None of the steps is the same size or height. Some are narrow; some are tall. During the day, tourists who visit the temple usually take one to two hours to reach the peak. It is not advised to climb at night. There are no lights along the trail, and one wrong step could send a hiker tumbling down the steep staircase.

    But Master Yan'an had an unusual student last summer. San Antonio Spurs All-NBA center Victor Wembanyama was looking for a challenge that would test him in ways he'd never been tested before. He wanted to build his inner strength alongside his already prodigious physical strength.

    His goals, he said, transcended mere athletic glory.

    "I told him: You play basketball, and I do kung fu. If you want to be great, you have to do things that other people can't do," Master Yan'an told ESPN. "There are two parts to climbing the mountain. The daytime is for your body. Your endurance, your strength. The nighttime is for your mind. Your awareness."

    Wembanyama understood.

    After darkness fell on the sixth night of his retreat at the Shaolin Temple last summer, he joined Master Yan'an and a group of monks for a hike to the Bodhidharma Cave.

    "There were no lights anywhere," Master Yan'an said. "You can't see anything. The only way to go is step by step. Listen to your breath and listen to your heart. Feel each step with your foot. Use your awareness."

    Produced by Brødrene Jørgensen in the 1960s. (Denmark). Jorgensen was Danish piano factory known for Scandinavian craftsmanship.

    Model: "Minerva," their most iconic model, which is even featured in the Danish Music History Museum.

    The teak wood is even more stunning in person.

    those of you who appreciated fine and sophisticated music in the 1960s would associate the brand with the song… What's made Milwaukee famous
    Has made a loser out of me …

    😀

    My era, but the music was unknown to me, probably because I didn't listen to country music.

    Schlitz beer. I remember my Dad used to drink it. He also liked Blatz and Hamm's.
