Coming in from the cold.

Oops, did I say I was going to try to post weekly? I uh... I was sick. Yeah, that's it.

Actually that was true for at least the first little while. I managed to catch something a few weekends ago, then recovered just enough to not have a really good excuse to miss work but still be pretty sniffly and congested.

What a difference a month makes though. It went from crisp, and cold and sunny to warm and Spring like and sunny in that time. Plus, the amount of actual daylight we get, not just because of Daylight Savings Time, but because the days are getting noticeably longer is so very welcome.

I've started taking drumming lessons! I bought the Ion Drum Rocker to use with Rock Band, thinking at the time that I was enjoying drumming enough to actually consider learning to play the drums for real. At the start of March I finally went down to one of the local music stores and signed up for half hour lessons. I have some musical background, grade 8 Conservatory piano. It would seem that, combined with the skills I've developed playing Rock Band has had some benefit. We breezed through a lot of the rudimentary stuff. But like anything else, this will take a lot of time, and practice if I want to get good at it. We'll see how long I keep at it.
