An unexpectedly great day!

It all started after teaching the aikido kids'  class, which went great, by the way.  I was subbing for the normal instructor and for some reason, the kids behave for me.

I was awakened from an unintentional nap by a call from a friend who wanted to go biking.  I took him on my favorite ride to Lakeview Lake.  We had a great ride.  It was awesome to get to share the nature and the scenery with someone else for a change!  Then we went to a cookout with some friends of his.  Wow!  These were good-looking, intelligent people who were fun to talk to... 

I got home and finally, after months away, picked up my guitar.  I didn't play anything original, just a bunch of Melissa Etheridge songs.  She writes a lot of the songs that I would have if I ever got around to it.  They are from the heart, easy to play, and have a Kansas vibe to them since she is from Leavenworth.  

I shy away from playing guitar because I know I will never become this great virtuoso.  Tonight, it didn't matter, I just picked the thing up and played the hell out of it.  I never really forgot how to play.  My style is all about the right hand (the one that strums or picks).  I definitely need to sharpen my chops, but I can still play.  Will I write some songs?  That remains to be seen, but I do like playing and singing for anyone with the patience to listen.
