Ah, Mr. Dorman, always the plersuae I’m with you completely on the just ask that’s my issue and something I need to polish up a bit! Funny how us sales folks relate.Kathy is indeed a pistol and has infectious joy that spreads to all she knows!! I look at her and pray that I’m as young at that age!! Heck, maybe even by then I’ll have learned to play the drums; otherwise, I’ll just beat on them and pretend!Hmm those blue eyes I’ll tell you, those boys with the blue eyes, definitely have a way about them! Friend, you always make my day THANK YOU for stopping by!!Have a super week! I’m visiting your place in a few!

Funny, as I’m reading this my 14 year-old is prcinacitg drums in the cellar (basement to you, probably). Not really my instrument, but I do regret not playing the piano occasionally.But your comments also rang true. Just recently, someone asked me to do some tap-dancing improvisation (I took it up again as an exercise, having done it 20 years ago). My first reaction was the same as everyone else’s, Gosh, I don’t know really. I’m out of shape, yadda, yadda . But then I thought: Why the smurf shouldn’t I do a 2-minute improvisation? Who would ever ask me again? So I did. I’ve no idea how it went (I was not watching myself), but it was fun and I walked out pretty chuffed with myself.Sooo the motto from now is: go on, give it a shot.
