I learned several small pieces on my cello, and I’m in the middle of two bigger and trickier pieces. It’s slow progress, but I just keep plugging a long. I’m working on some of the upper positions and some tricky bowings, not to mention that elusive vibrato.
Stomach acid has a ph of 2. I probably knew this a long time ago, but I relearned it this August.
I tried bubble tea for the first time at our local tea shop The Snooty Fox. Isn’t that a great name for a tea shop? It’s a neat place. I should go there more often, but I have issues leaving my house. Anyway, the bubble tea was really interesting. It’s a sweet, sweet tea that almost feels like a cream soda with tapioca “bubbles” that are about the size of a regular marble and are slightly tea flavored. You suck them up with a really big straw. They are chewy and strangely really satisfying. My overall impression of bubble tea was “pretty good.” I actually wish the serving size was a bit smaller, because I was kind of tired of the sweetness by the end, but I really liked it at the beginning.
Reading the book Moloka’i inspired me to learn more about the Hawaiian leper colony and leprosy itself throughout history. Fascinating. The book was a great read, by the way.
I learned how to load the kayak on top of the car with YaYa’s help. Wahoo! It opens up a whole new world of kayaking possibilities, although sadly we haven’t actually gone kayaking this month. It’s OK, though. September is a great month for kayaking. True to form for our family, we are driving around with a kayak on top of our car at all times waiting for just the right moment to head to the Lake.
