After all the talk, the Piano is finally here. Yesterday, me and Teeba went straight from the airport to the store next to Berkeley College (where else to buy a music instrument) and put a down payment for a Korg digital piano. It has the benefits of a piano and a keyboard all in one, it feels like a piano, it sounds like a piano, but it is smaller than one and you can use headphones. The latter are utterly convenient for me given I have not played at all in a year and the 3 years before were dedicated to computer keyboards rather than piano keyboards… I do not have all my note sheets here, which is unfortunate but hope to get them from home soon. And tomorrow Teeba is coming to play. We decided to do it together so we would incentivize each other to play (yes, the cost factor was an issue too). So pictures tomorrowwwwwwww. Time to sleep! I am happy that I finally am learning how to prioritize.

The thing about the examples is that they do have something in common, whether they came from people I worked with recently o
