@gratis-pawn saidWe can do that. But probably better in a club than in the GF
Maybe have the stories give clues and the readers say who committed the crime?
Like a game of clue?

@divegeester saidDo you have a problem with this?
A sax player!
🙄
I also play other woodwinds (sax, clarinet and flute), in addition to piano.
I minored in music in school after all, and my sorority (Alpha Chi Omega) had one requirement, that you were somehow connected to the school of music at U of A.
@suzianne saidSo you are a multi-talented musician, Suzie. That must be nice.

@torunn saidI used to go to 'Open Mike Night' at a few bars around here and this was a hugely fun time. I have sat in with jazz bands and once even a rock band that was missing their keyboard player. My current project is to learn Moonlight Sonata by memory. I usually spend at least a couple hours playing on weekends.
So you are a talented musician, Suzie. That must be nice.
I'm thankful my mom pushed me to finish my piano lessons when I was a kid.

@suzianne saidBeing a musician must be a blessing. Maybe you will let us listen one day. Good luck!

@suzianne saidYour growing list of talents, skills and knowledge is quite remarkable, as are your life experiences, traumas and spiritual encounters.

@divegeester saidSome people are just blessed.

Here's the thing. I still think the good things in my life outweigh ALL the bad. But that wasn't always the case. And it didn't "just so happen" that way.
I think the name you are looking for is "Mary Sue". Won't be the first time haters called me that. But Mary Sue is comically perfect. So I'm far from a "Mary Sue". No one is responsible for the things that happen to us through no fault of our own, but we are responsible if we let them define us, if we let them fossilize us. Change is the only true constant. Rolling with those changes instead of letting them weigh us down frees us to have a non-boring life. And yet there are still people out there who are so ignorant about me that they call me "angry". That's always good for a laugh.
@suzianne saidYour own opinion of yourself may be much higher than others have of you!
