I wish I did. A grand piano would be grand. I used to be quite good, but not anymore. Out of practice. But I still have fast fingers. Funny how we give up some things in life. But maybe I'll go back to it someday. Frankly I'm bored with this political discussion, and especially this Schiavo case. I can't believe the press has been hijacked completely by this story. But it's not doing the rightwing any good. On the contrary. Most people are deeply annoyed by it all. Everyone has kin who've been terminal. Almost everyone unplugs. So it's hard to stomach all this moralizing. Also, would anyone in their right mind want to be braindead and kept alive articially for 15+ years? If the body is dead but the brain alive that's another thing. See Stephen Hawking or Chris Reeve. Death is not a bad thing in many cases, and this is one of them. Also the rightwing zealots don't realize they're making a great argument for national health care and stem cell research.
