WOW! Daryl, that left me speechless! . . . but so did this!  Think someone asked for the "Piano Bar" but got "Piano BARN instead! I'm guessing! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/pianopig.jpg)

Are you saving those spinets from the dump by eating them?

Vacation was great! 2 weeks at the cottage was much needed. I came home for one night, last Sunday and then drove down to Kansas City for the PTG convention. It was fun! I met some new people from here again on PW like Patrick. I ran into some others from PW that I had met at the last convention too. That part was quite enjoyable. I just came home last night.... Ahhhh, tis good to be back! You people behaving yourselves in here???  Ohhh, it makes me have to pee! I gotta pee! I gotta peeeee NOW! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/dog1.jpg) What the!!!???? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/dog2.jpg) Hold still kitty!

I looked for you and your son everywhere from Friday (past exam) and on, but I couldn't find you... did you escape to somewhere more secure? Anyways, great to meet you. I'll keep the beers chilled until next year!

Welcome back Jerry! Well I have to give "Daryl" credit. He's put up some very very funny pictures! Seems I missed running into Daryl at the PTG conference too! Hard to miss! Anyways, we have been on "TOP" of things for you here! Say, can some of you give me a little help getting my piano up a few stairs! I just moved to a really "ON TOP OF THE WORLD" location! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/coolesttreehouse.jpg)

We might have to bypass the stairs Diane and try something else. Piano technicians have all sorts of crazy ideas. ![[Linked Image]](http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy280/oldupright/Funny%20Pics/Piano-Tuning-Kansas-City-028.jpg)

I looked for you and your son everywhere from Friday (past exam) and on, but I couldn't find you... did you escape to somewhere more secure? smile You walked right past me 3 or 4 times Patrick. Guess you didn't recognize my avatar after all eh? Actually, you looked as if you were on a mission either looking for someone or trying to get to class and so I didn't bother you but, I wanted to visit a tad more than time allowed for us too. Next time!

Next conference you'll all have to wear something or play something to get noticed! Or again, just use name tags! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/flyingpiano10.jpg)

I thought this song was classy. Perhaps you've seen it before on YouTube but, if not, enjoy the animation of an old mans life that he shares... Clickty here to see it.

The animation is indeed a nice one. But I must say, I can't stand the monotonous nature of Tiersen's music. The same four bars, over and over and over... (not even the fanciest moves in the right hand can cover this up). But hey, that's just my take.
