What are you doing today?

I guess I'll just stick to teaching music.

I've taught a couple of courses and decided i was a lousy teacher. I used to give these technical presentation and think they stink but get decent reviews on those but when it came to teaching i could never find a good middle ground between the top and bottom of the class and just sort of gave up. I mean i could make 10x the money twiddling my thumbs for a corporation. Then after a while i decided that most ceo are at the bottom of heap of low life and decided i'd never work for another company again. Oh well.

You have a better chance of that than I do of becoming the King of my own castle. Instead I'm subservient to the cat.

Back on topic, I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm going to make walls and a raised platform to terrace a tank that needs redoing, with something called Sculpey.
Having never worked with clay before and not being particularly 'artsy' I expect it to go badly.

I would recommend checking if Sculpey is aquarium safe. We use it to make christmas ornaments, and it's pretty oily.

When I lived in central Montreal, I had no need of a car.

I spent more than 2 decades in Boston and never drove after a few trips the first year. The negative is having to walk 6 miles a day the postiive was having to walk 6 miles a day - those were the trade offs. I don't live in the city any longer but miss the life style just not the bad points.

I bought a bicycle . I want to see how little I can possibly use the car . It should be easy . I have only myself to buy groceries for and I eat the same thing almost all the time so trips to the grocery store should be easy . Winter will be hit or miss . I will have to use the infernal combustion machine occasionally but the goal is to see how much dust it can gather .

Get a fat bike and ride all winter!
