Ahhh, I am sorry it took me longer than I thought it would to get back here to answer you. We had Equality Day at the statehouse where we set up tables, do education, hold a rally and lobby for LGBT equality. We do it every year and I really enjoy it. We have lots of younger students come, mostly from HighSchool of course from all over the state. Anyway, that took a lot of time and I am home and tired. In a few hours I may slip in and play a little not sure.

Hearing about your drumming is fun. I had to learn to play everything well enough to teach it and I really loved learning percussion. It is difficult as can be and to play the Marimba using double mallets is quite an accomplishment. My son finally learned to play marimba in college working on his music performance degree. He does not play it anymore, can't afford one anyway but is happy playing his kit in the various jazz groups he is in. He is coming home tonight, so excited. He has a small part time job here with a friend of ours who is teaching him some carpentry so I get to have him home when there are jobs he can work on. BIG BIG smile!

More tomorrow perhaps, I am just beat right now. I wanted to write to you so badly yesterday but after my morning gifting and charging I was never back to even play.

Picturing you with the steel drum. How awesome is that? Alicia'mon ;-)
