Well, it is an interesting discussion. We had a discussion here at dinner.

I asked her, since her recital is in one week. Does she want to do it really well or sloppy? She said she did not want to be sloppy. I told her that she needed to work on the problem areas, but the pieces sounded really good.

Baby steps. And yes, Val, I treat the piano thing as her practice at effort because practicing doesn't thrill her. (never want to go the ice skating route, which is something that interests her). I pay for my knees now for that activity.

I really appreciate the views.

Best,
Ren
