I've been enjoying practicing more and more lately. It's so meditative. Each week more of the program is in my fingers. The pieces are fun to play. I still spend time on keeping up repertoire and practicing etudes. 

I've been vaguely thinking about buying a grand. A Steinway is out of my reach but a 6 foot Kawai grand would do nicely. The Yamaha to my mind is not bright enough. 

Arthur says he would come and look with me and help me choose.
