What it said was, it is such a pleasure to share a music stand with you, and to have done these most of the Easters for the past many years. Do you remember? We were the Adult Presence in the second violin section, which was otherwise populated by a flock of 8th graders who had not played in an orchestra very much, and needed an example of how to pay attention to the conductor and count measures upon measures of rests. To think that we were that example!

I was BAD. I wanted to play baseball rather than practice, although now I wish I had not skipped practicing for baseball. I'm no good at baseball now, either, but if I had put a real effort into the violin, I might have enough skills remaining to pick it up again. But, alas, I can barely read music, and I probably would still rather be outside doing something else. So I'm proud of your picking it up again!
