Winter or Spring?

Wish the weather would settle down. Mother Nature appears to be having trouble making up her mind what weather she wants. One day I am freezing and sitting under an electric throw to stay thawed out. The next day I am ready to run around half naked as it feels almost like Summer. Then the weather goes back to cold. What the heck is this? Yo-yo weather? lol I do know for certain that Spring is almost here though. The desert winds have been blowing wild every day :)

Theremin

If you are like me, you are now asking yourself what the heck is a theremin and what does it do? You might also be asking yourself if you need this in your life. The answer to the first I will give you, the latter answer must come from you. One of the oldest electronic instruments, the theremin is the only one known that you play without touching. Moving your hands in the space around its antennas controls pitch and volume.Something tells me this instrument might require a lot of practice before one is good at it but it sounds like a fun project! If you are an electronics nut or even a musician that likes electronic instruments then you should check out and save on theremin kit at musicians friend.Here is what it looks like assembled and on a stand:

You not only get the kit but you also get some help for when it is completed. The make-it-yourself theramin kit comes with 2 videotapes: Clara Rockmore: the Greatest Theremin Virtuosa, which includes performances and a conversation with the world-renowned thereminist, filmed in 1976; and Mastering the Theremin which includes 6 lessons with Lydia Kavina, including exercises designed by Clara Rockmore. Lydia is one of the few professional thereminists in the world and a master teacher on the instrument. This is the main resource you need for learning to play theremin or for improving your technique. So, hang onto your hat and go grab one of these great gadgets and become a theremin virtuoso or just someone that likes to make some unusual sounds.

You Need It

No matter who you are or where you live there is no way out of some things. Insurance, for example. If you drive, you need it. If you have a home, you need it. Want to help your loved ones should you pass on? You need it. The problem is not the insurance, nor even the ability to pay for it. The largest problem is finding an agent that will be there from beginning to end. One that will find the right insurance at the right price for you, not his commission. One that will be there should you ever have questions or concerns or, God forbid, need to file a claim. If you reside in North Carolina then what you need is clearly allredinsurance.com. Established in 1977 they have the years of experience to help you no matter what your insurance needs may be. They partner with a variety of companies so they can find a policy to fit your budget and that's always a great way to give you peace of mind. Need insurance? Of corse you do, we all need it. Check out the website and get yours.

just for myself

On the 14th of February I started two new inhalers. The blue one in the early morning hours and the green one later that night, around dinner time. I just want to see how much each of them is getting used before they run out. The blue one should be first as I use it much more in the course of a day than the green one. I was surprised I had to replace them both on the same day...
