The Sounds of Silence

| No Comments

For the first time since last summer, the family has headed west to Iowa. It seems like forever since I've had time to myself, and I'm relishing it. The house is quiet, the phones are quiet, no one is waking me in the morning...amazingly, even the cats are leaving me alone! Perhaps they're enjoying the silence too.

I've been messing around with using our Yamaha Clavinova as a Midi keyboard with my laptop, and it's kinda cool. it's not perfect, but not bad. It's neat to hit a piano key and have the laptop tell me I hit the wrong note, but of course Kim could do that for free...

Air conditioning folks were here today to look over the house and measure for where to put what. Central air is complicated, and expensive, but this house is just too big to not have it. I guess we'll be selling lots of room A/Cs in our garage sale.

It's so quiet here, I'm just not sure what to do. I'm happy just futzing around, really. I like company, but it's been SO long since I've had the house to myself, I'm just enjoying it. Hope no one takes offence if they don't get invited over. It's not you, it's me. Really.
