I am from the north. I live where it is cold. I don't have any pets. I want to work at the Smithsonian. My parents are lawyers.
I play guitar. I am from Michigan. I have huskies. I have daughters. I live in Pennsylvania. I am a State Trooper. I got a new toaster. I love burnt toast. I worked with a software team to install software.
I want to learn the guitar so I just bought one, any tips? That's great! What kind did you get, and is it acoustic or electric? There are some great apps out there for learning guitar either way. If you bought an electric bar chords are a great way to start. I would buy yourself a guitar fingering chart first of all with the most common chords. It's best to start with learning chords then progress to more.   Acoustic is what I got. It's simple and doesn't take up much space! I got a simple fingering chart. The guitar has replaced a few sitcoms already. I can't stand sitcoms generally. I used to work at a gas station and the owner left a television tuned to sitcoms all day long. After about 10 years of working there I couldn't stand it. I prefer my electric guitar myself. One of my favorite things is practicing outside. It's a great habit to pick up to replace screen time.  That's a cool idea, practicing outside. I've wasted enough time on screen time, using this the break out of it. How long have you been playing? I've been playing for about 15 years myself. My dad bought me my first guitar because he used to play in a band in college. Do you play any instruments already? I had already taken piano lessons and I think it helps you pick things up faster.  I played the trombone long ago. Gave some though to picking that up again, and I may. I love the sound of brass. I used to have a neighbor whose teenage son played very, very bad, off key trombone. His favorite time to practice was at 12pm and it used to drive me crazy. I play piano, trumpet, bugle, electric and acoustic guitar, as well as sing. It really helps you grasp music reading and I think other instruments come easier after the first one. That musical resume is no joke! I'm jealous! I know where to go with questions. How are the girls? They're doing great! I'm trying to figure out what to do with them this summer when I'm on patrol. I usually work overtime in the summer. Does the summer bring tourist traffic and problems? Summer camp is always, sometimes, fun. I've been looking for a great survival skills outdoor camp. I'd really like them to have those skills in case they go through a natural disaster someday. That or something to do with horseback riding or farming. Summer is always a headache. DWIs go through the roof and the increased traffic brings crashes and things like thefts. Our workload goes up 20% more in the summer, at least.
