The Art of the Day is: the art of adapting
My Aunt Harriet's ipod
My cousin convinced my aunt to get an ipod, and he filled it with all the music she likes:
Italian tenors
Gilbert and Sullivan
Show Tunes
Crooners
Nothing later than Andrew Lloyd Webber.
And she loves it! It is magical to her that this little white box can hold all that sound!
This is a woman who is intimidated by computers, even when I try to convince her that it's really as simple as counting ones and zeros really, really fast.
She and her granddaughter each plug their pods into a speaker platform and proceed to blast each other over different floors of the house. 'Tis true, 'tis pity, 'tis pity, 'tis true.
She will take it down to Miami with her this winter and be bopping on the plane, and jazzing on the beach. Rock on, lady!

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.

Because it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place.
