As a former marching band person myself, I currently don't require a pause in music to stumble a bit. MS takes care of that for me. Once, I walked off the edge of a curb, right on top of the air, and found myself lying flat on my front - arms outstretched. But I'm sure that I looked as graceful as swan doing it, especially since I didn't even spill my doggie-bag in the process. Hehe.
lol...funny.
ReplyDeletehey! you changed your template...pretty! what made you decide to change your site?
Thanks MM,
ReplyDeleteI had wanted to try to make things easier to look at and navigate around here. And the yellow/beige was getting boring. So many of the color choices for backgrounds are hard to read but this just seems good to me right now. Then I was experimenting with the HTML.....
It's a work in progress. :)
I saw this cartoon too from the xkcd site and totally lol.
ReplyDeleteI was in a marching band for 5 years after high school. I played the flute and have not played for awhile. It is something I am hesitant to resume because of my physical issues - my right arm has some serious pain issues (for years now) so I have had to minimize use...and yes, a flute is quite light but you have to hold your right arm up which would add to strain/pain...and I need the arm for things like cooking! MS manifests strangely for all of us eh? I luckily don't stumble when walking but my balance is precarious at times.
I chose math for university....and you chose music. I was in my university orchestra for a year too.
Interesting connection eh?
and the site redesign looks great btw ;)
Hello Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI like xkcd too. (Try Indexed [http://indexed.blogspot.com/ ] on for size. The same kind of wit. :-)
I'm glad I'd learned to take a tumble before knowing I had MS.
Lord knows, its come in handy more that once. (I've managed to even do it with a drink in my hand [I won't even pretend I didn't end up wearing it, but I did manage not to break the glass. {Good thing too. It was expensive crystal.}])
When I was in Junior High and High school, I played the trumpet in a band. When I saw that cartoon, I understood it clearly. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Jim
