286/365. old fashioned music on the old fashioned ipod.
when i was packing for my trip odin noticed i grabbed my 5th generation nano ( which pretty much only gets used when i’m traveling to save space and battery life on my phone ) and he said simply and without any sense of irony, “oh, you’re taking your old fashioned iPod?”
oh, i get it, it’s all retro with it’s click wheel interface and no touchscreen or apps but “old fashioned” i mean c’mon…OH MY GOD “ON FIRE” CAME OUT 26 YEARS AGO.
day 3956 – 122/365. odin’s piano recital!
it’s hard to believe he’s been playing for over a year and this is second recital! he was nervous but he aced it. i’ll post video at some point but for now i’m behind on the 365 project so i’ve got to catch up on that!
89/365. odin graduates to the next piano level!
odin has been doing awesome in piano lessons and getting high praise from his teacher. today he graduated to level 2! and I think we’ve graduated from the “uuuugggghhh! why are you making me do this stage.” he now happily claims he’d like to take lessons for “5 more years”.
day 3919 – 85/365. spring concert!
odin is in the front row playing cello just right of center. don’t tell anyone I broke the “no photos or video” rule 🙂
happy that i made it back from atlanta in time to watch the concert with 15 minutes to spare!
81/365. things that pop in my head while waiting at airports.
“I am a patient boy. I wait, I wait, I wait. my time is water down a drain. everybody’s moving, everybody’s moving, everything is moving, moving, moving, moving…” fugazi – “waiting room”
16/365. music night.
16 year old me would be mortified to learn 42 year old me gets together with a group of adults and their children to play music and sing songs. all jokes about me singing “if i only had a brain” will be sent to /dev/null.
we’ve been doing it for years. turns out it’s good, clean fun. the kids enjoy it and it’s a great excuse for me to challenge my inner hermit.
