i think you are right about moving and time. there is something to be said for positive inertia. i like making tarts. i have copious amounts of rhubarb in my garden and i make pie the lazy way (with store-bought crust) so there is always enough crust stuff left over that i make a small one with the left overs. i also have made tarts with jam. and have made my own jam for that matter. my friend, thistle is teaching me to pickle at the end of the summer. so you have a picture of me as getting along with beaurocracy? LOL. i suppose i can get along with it pretty well, but it is not part of my picture of myself. i've also gone to schools that were willing to work with me; the first one because i was a full-tuition student and the second because it was part of their christian ethic. the dean of student life listened to me very patiently while i bitched about the inclusive language policy and declared that it encouraged dishonesty.
primarily i sing. i've been singing since before i could talk and had lots of choir, choir camp, state competitions, voice lessons and a capella group practice. but i also play the bagpipes (and can play recorder because if you play bagpipes you can also play recorder). i can play piano a little, but my sight-reading is awful and i have two guitars that i pretend to learn how to play every few years. i would like to learn to play the bodhran. i would dearly like to be in an a capella group and a bagpipe band again. if i practice up, i can probably do the latter, but the former is harder to find for people out of college.
ross is even more musical. he is the master audio engineer at the guthrie. he got into juliard for piano, but didn't go. he plays guitar a bit and plays and builds his own drums. supposedly he can play hammer dulcimer as well (and build them) but i haven't seen him do it yet.
