My mother told me to stop blogging about her this morning.
"What?", I asked sipping my coffee.
She told me that her sister called her concerned about her high blood pressure.
"How did you hear about that?" she asked.
"It was on Zita's blog!", she said.
They got a good chuckle out of it. I told my mother not to worry. I never mention names on my blog.
Then she told me she wanted me to share a picture of James on my blog. It is ok to say his name. He is a cat. Her very arrogant cat!
He has quite the attitude. Kind of like a cross between her favorite actors: Al Pacino and Denzel Washington!
Speaking of favorite actors, I shared with her my new obsession. The Samurai. I told her it started with my watching "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise, one of my favorite actors.
She looked at me thoughtfully, sipping her coffee.
"That explains the hair", she said.
My mother is quite the character. Kind of like James.
But my Samurai obsession continues. In fact, I am using it as inspiration with my students. I long ago started a "Piano Ninja" practice sheet. Complete with a cartoon drawing I did of a ninja holding music notes.
I tell my students in piano class that they should be in stealth mode "like a Ninja", when they get too rambunctious.
I am now working on the "Code of the Piano Ninja", including such tenets as "respect, focus, discipline"...some I borrowed from my Taekwondo days. Some I thought of with the help of my students!
But I am running out of time. So off I fly. Like a Samurai!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita
