Somehow it doesn't fit. Bet you were/are good, though.<br><br>@Janet - Wow. Well at least you have something to show for the experience. I hope you still play.<br><br>@Debbie - Why am I not surprised? I can see you now in your Little Debbie talent pageants, up on stage in your little spangly majorette costume and playing an accordion, emitting an oddly monotonous rhythm that made the judges' expressions go blank. And that smile! And those eyes - making hypnotic contact with each judge in turn... :) :<br><br>@Ettarose - How interesting! I learn something new about you all the time! I'm impressed.<br><br>Why you would give all that up just to be a juggler in the circus is beyond me. )Relax Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-60709094243925975062009-02-17T08:53:00.000-07:002009-02-17T08:53:00.000-07:00I do still play, actually.

I envy you. :)<br><br>@Stephanie - Yeah. I've seen your blog. Can't type, either. A shame, because you seem to have worthwhile ideas but just can't spell well enough to express them. Kidding. I LOVE your blog! Wish I could sing. Trust me, you wouldn't want to be in the same room if I tried!
