I play guitar. I'm playing as though I am performing, though I am just playing for myself. I'm sad about not playing more often, and feel rusty. I'm trying to prove to myself that I still have the skill, though I'm not sure.
I start to play something famous, some REM or something, and get into it. I'm trying to keep the speed up without losing any accuracy. It's tough. Someone comes and starts listening, and we sing along, and do remarkably well for the different sections - the chorus, verses, and even a solid bridge that really bangs it home. I'm aware that despite this my playing is sloppier than I'd like.

A class I am taking. It is a somewhat informal thing, but I am very into it. Something like a community center or vipassana center class. None of the self-importance of a university.
