I think I can pretty much sit there and play through the entire movie and get it close to right for most of it. Some I can match pretty damned well.

But, that puts the focus on me - when I'd really be hoping to show what can be accomplished. Which, really, isn't a great first experience with the movie.

I'm kinda at a loss.

Her idea is, "We could just watch the movie." It's a valid option.

Now I remember the book. I saw it and pirated it for you, as I recall. Something like that.

And, I'm not making any plans too far ahead, except vague ideas. I'm quite enjoying the respite from plans and obligations. I have a whole lot fewer obligations right now.

I could get used to this!

I'm a sucker for well-done pyrotechnics and fog machines. I wish I could say I was above such frivolities, but I'm not.

Also, I think I forgot to tell you that the band performed last weekend. So, I should tell you that. The band performed last weekend. Some fairly small (for us) bar. I ain't doing that. They've got that. They don't need my help. 'Snot like anyone there will know the difference. 'Snot like anyone there will even remember how many musicians were on stage, or their names or what they looked like. Also, the pay was lower and it's better for them to minimize expenses when they're getting paid less. It's just good fiscal sense!

There, she's got it. Let your joy be watching her see it for the first time and see what she has to say. She deserves her time in the spotlight too.

It's good to see you finally starting to approach retirement sensibly. I know it's hard to put the racehorse out to pasture, but remember they usually use them for stud service in their later years :).

Isn't it all going to plan? You've taken the training wheels off but still there to support a little more. Before too long they'll be riding on down the road and you can watch with pride as the do.

It's very much going according to plan. I'll participate even less next year. Then, I'm fucking done. No more. My straps are getting hung up and I'm never performing again.

I might even stop recording.

Nobody believes a word of that, either. But, that's what I keep telling myself. I'm already thinking about compromising and only performing when both myself and the audience are mostly seated. But, I'm telling myself that I'm never performing again.

I am pretty adept, but I'm not sure I'll get much joy watching someone watch a movie. I could just watch it with her, but that'd make sense and be logical - and mundane.
