Her teacher says she&#8217;s literally the quickest study he&#8217;s had in several decades. She has the benefit of being an adult, but she also has the deficit of being an adult, so take it however you like. All I know is that I like hearing little baroque melodies wafting up from the living room, and we got a good deal on a compact, used digital piano.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m happy as Larry at my job. I really feel like I fit at OXM, I am constantly challenged in a good way, and I think the more creative risks we take in the coming year, the better off we&#8217;ll be. Hopefully those risks will pay off, of course. But I like the editorial vision and freedom and the proverbial wheels are turning.<\/li>\n<li>Kat has been working on <a href=\"http:\/\/pregnancymagazine.com\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Pregnancy<\/em><\/a> magazine as a contractor, which is not only a pleasant work environment but profitable as well. But the lure of a full-time position is strong, and she&#8217;s found one that might be a very good fit and would give her all the things that Future is apparently unable or unwilling to give her. (You don&#8217;t pass someone over for three different full-time positions for which they are qualified unless you want to send that person a message, albeit a cowardly one.) Cross your fingers; I will not say more so I don&#8217;t jinx it.<\/li>\n<li>I love my Taylor T5 so much that I am going to sell two more guitars, but as we get closer to the core of the collection, the prices are going up. I think these next two will be $500+ each. I will always give friends first shot before listing them on Craigslist\/eBay. Let me know if you are interested and I&#8217;ll tell you what I&#8217;m letting go.<\/li>\n<li>The world of music copyright clearance is frightening and confusing. I am only sinking deeper into it as I try to figure out whether I&#8217;ve done the right thing or not. This is why so many people just write their own stuff rather than create parody.<\/li>\n<li><em>WoW<\/em> is preventing The Book from progressing. I need, like, two weeks in a cabin with internet access but no <em>WoW<\/em>, and I think I could get it together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you who know us but haven&#8217;t been around us lately: Kat is learning to play piano, very quickly.
