How do we learn? How do we remember? And what has that got to do with “Pipeline,” the Chantays hit from 1962? My head has been full of such wonderings since I bought a piano this spring, and started playing again after decades away from the instrument.
My dear niece Ashley
suggested I try “Poldark” on Amazon Prime and here I am, well into season three,
caught like a wiggling fish in a net. I may turn up my nose at
bodice buster novels and soap operas, but PBS magic plus the beautifulness of
actors Aiden Turner and Elinor Tomlinson have me in their grip. Sometimes I even
find myself saying “t’is” and “t’was,” for heaven’s sake.
Sometimes,
when life throws you trash, you can turn it into treasure.
