Electric Pianos, a changing of the guard

In December of 2014, my co-worker lent me her keyboard.  It was a great gift, and I have played it mostly every day since it arrived in my home.  It’s been a good start to my piano life, but I’ve been looking for an upgrade.  

It so happened that a different co-worker (from that same job) was getting rid of her electric piano, and I jumped at the chance to take it home.  It’s got a solid base and weighted keys, not to mention more of them.  I’m happy to be continuing my piano journey with this new instrument.
And my friend who lent me the original keyboard took it back so she could lend it to another friend, so the keyboard circulation continues.

Thanks Branka and Tara!

Three sentence movie reviews: Wonder Woman

Though I recently swore off first-run comic book movies, I made an exception for this female-oriented (and female directed!) feature.  It was a good exception to make as Gal Gadot does things with her eyes that really make this movie work.  It was a rollicking journey and one I was happy to partake in with a sold-out audience.

Cost: $9.50
Where watched: Baghdad with Matt

posters from: http://www.impawards.com/2017/wonder_woman_ver8.html

Where I had the problem, was with the posters, nearly all of which seemed to pose her as a glam fashion model in a Wonder Woman costume.  These were the best I could do, with the second one chosen to highlight the other members of the cast.
