Got the title for my 2013 Honda Fit in the mail today. I've officially paid off my car.

Christmas came early in NH. A few weeks ago my wonderful wife authorized the procurement of a new bike and I've gotten out some late-season rides. Today's was particularly cold. New ride is a Scott Genius 940, picked up for ~20% off as a floor model. It's truly amazing how far things have come in the 6+ years since I bought a mountain bike.

You should find a local kawai dealer and try those.

I'm with Dan. The Kawai keybeds are very close to the feel of a proper piano. If I had the duckets, I'd have an Mp11 and keep using my Hammersmith Kontakt samples (there are plenty of equally great piano libraries out there and this is simply the one I use). http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/26-percussion/g49-the-hammersmith/

Have you tried the new high-end Kawai, Yamaha, Roland, or Nord pianos? They’re pretty amazing. The kawai mp11 has the same action as their $20k grand for example.

I miss my acoustic.

I’m personally of the opinion that it takes a very good piano to be better than the best digital pianos, and digitals are a lot easier to keep in good condition. That said, if you can find a kawai, yamaha, or comparable full sized upright, it might also be a good option in a similar price range. https://www.pianoworld.com is where I go to find out about individual pianos, digital and analog.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why not a real one? https://pianoadoption.com

Feast of Seven Fishes

Just returned from a fencing tournament so now Lance is qualified for two different weapons and four events at the Junior Olympics. By some wild coincidence we are having dinner tonight with two olympic coaches, two olympic foil fencers and some fencing parents. Best of all, no broken foils!

Bacon wrapped pork loin.

Starting with the salt and butter tray. Truffle and Greek butter with Hawaiian black salt and smoke salt and a meat tray with duck prosciutto , etc.

If you get the Z6, make sure to get this Ikelite underwater housing (even if you never take it near water). It's gotta have special powers.

Played tourist in SF this afternoon, Where I encountered ... https://en-us.sennheiser.com/sf Sennheiser's only store in North America (?) Knowledgeable staff, and the usual suspects The new stuff isn't too shabby.
