back from SLC--
had fun, for the most part. took almost forty pictures with my dinky little digi-cam, the tried to upload 'em onto my computer & found out that the program that came with it (the camera) doesn't work with the new monitor. for some reason. aargh.
---
little situation going on right now entangled with all other family drama that has us in a bit of a quandry.
simply put: when my grandmother passed away in December my mother inherited her antique upright piano that she wanted to pass on to the grandkids (little neice and nephew at present, as my seed has yet to take root.) (thank god.)
now mom is gone & we're not quite sure what to do with the thing. I'm not quite ready to settle down yet, myself, at least not here, in this town, & my sister & her husband are in the beginning stages of a divorce that will probably result in he & little neice & nephew moving to St. Louis.
in the meantime, there's this bloody big piano. I've kind of been thinking what John Cheever or Raymond Carver would do with it, this big bulky symbol of familial responsibility, burden & hope. a beautiful, ancient instrument that none of us has ever learned to play.
it might make a very beautiful & profound story someday, but in the meantime, there's this bloody big piano.

Teehee, yes, indeed the founding fathers were not random horny internet guys. Of course, who's to say they would not have been had they had internet access?
It may be extremely cumbersome but inheritence..uh...items...are usually things that you decide you want later.
And its a piano!
