Happenings
I guess it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything - things are going well, though the work keeps me (as always) fairly busy. Last weekend, bunch of us went out Kayaking at the Elkhorn Slough - if you are ever in the area, or if you love wildlife (Sea Otters, anyone?), I would highly recommend doing this. The pictures are pretty bad (hey, it came from a single use waterproof camera!) and don’t really do justice to what it is like to be peddling out there.
Hmm, I got a piano so I’ve been playing a fair amount lately - I’m still nowhere near the level I was when I stopped playing 7 years ago, but it feels like I have a better ear for listening to myself play then I ever had. My fingers still don’t quite move the way they used to, but the muscle memories are coming back. I’m also starting to tackle couple of new pieces - maybe it’s a little ambitious given the 7 year gap but so far, I’m having fun going through Chopin’s Etudes and just messing around. It seems like it’ll either be Op. 10 No. 3, No. 5, or Op. 25 No. 4 though I highly doubt that I’d ever be able to play any of them competently and at the correct tempo.
And here’s a picture of my brother’s awesome art.
Oh yeah, I’ll be in Vancouver around the middle of June for the Alcan Dragonboat Festival - hope to see some old friends while I’m there.

I’m trying to get some more Beethoven into my repertoire, and re-capture my ability to play my ARCT program. :p

Hey Daniel
What a website! You’re very devoted to it =)
Yay you’ll be in Vancouver!
BTW, did you get my fantabulous postcard yet?
Oh, and is that John’s artwork?!
My my… (haha)

Hey! That’s awesome you got a piano! It’s fun isn’t it? I’m playing a bit on my housemate’s digital piano and trying to learn some chopin stuff too!
Yippee you’re coming to Vancouver, I hope you’ll be able to stay a couple extra days!
