Cindysphinx 6000 Post Club Member Registered: 02/14/03 Posts: 6416 Loc: Washington D.C. Metro	Here's the group of people who have committed to practice an hour a day in February. Lesson and recital time do not count. It was a little hard to tell who was in and who was taking a pass, what with the Markb's Calvin Klein underwear poses and all the rap speak. Add yourself to the list if I omitted you. *********************** Cindy Markjps Dgoddard JerryLuke SAS ScottPrell SusieQ _________________________ Vote For Cindy!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post...QvjrL_blog.html

I'm coming after you in March. :slinks away: Seriously, I remember a long time ago you mentioned that your practice many hours per day. Now that I can actually see you (and the other Serious Practicers) doing it, it creates an all-new sensation of awe. Kind of like the sensation of awe I get when I see Fitty Cent's tattoos. $\:D$ Cindy -- going to bed.

At the beginning of this thread, the bet was about averaging 60 minutes a day. I consider the outcome totally binary. At 60.01 minutes a day, I WIN! At 59.99 minutes a day, I demand a recount and take it to the Supreme Court if necessary. Doug _________________________ "The secret to staying calm in a crisis is not having all the facts."

People could cut out any other activity (reading, TV, sleep, nookie) to make time for more piano, but they cut back on AB forum.

I hope I make it through this month! 70 minutes yesterday, 30 today. I better get busy or I won't make it. And I'll LOSE! ARRGGHH!!!

I'll see if I can make up my practice time next week in order to stay on track at an average of 1 hour per day... _________________________ "Amateurs practice until they get a piece right.
