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.
It's been a while, I know. But time is really a precious asset and I have not been leveraging on it well enough... But today I did and I am proud. I threw all the plans out of the window and took the irrefusable offer I was made "Do you want to go flying today?". How does no work as an answer there? Here is one of the c. 30 airplanes you could see there. First reaction from our pilot: "Why are all these planes here, don't people realize it is an amazing day for flying?". Well, I had not untill he told me so! But the best is still to come, as the only girl in the group I got to ride in the front, get first view in take-off, listen to the radio of the air control all the time (we get Boston airport frequency), check the map, speeds, everything... I guess throughout the way we were some quiet passengers, in the wonders of realizing you are on air, the curiosity of identifying different places and the struggle to take the best pictures as we pass the Harvard...
