Sometimes I talk myself out of doing something before trying. A bit of writing. Or something else creative. I’m talking myself out of doing it because I’m trying to save effort. Why do something if it isn’t going to work, right? Maybe. Maybe not. Other times, I do it and see if it works. Last…
In our choir, we have lots of sopranos and altos. And up until this session, we had a good number of tenors. But we’ve always had a scant amount of basses. Usually three. And one of them is me. So, it’s more like two and a half. At the beginning of each session, we’d gain…
