Feb 2013

marty's mom became the scout leader. we met in the basement of the church i was baptized in (methodist) and on her 1st day marty's mom told us that anyone who touched the piano would have their fingers slammed in the keyboard cover. well that was one of 3 pianos i took lessons on and i was a brat so naturally..

..she actually tried to slam my fingers in the heavy wooden keyboard cover. no i mean she grabbed me all 300 lbs of her vs my 75-85 lbs and tried to smash my fingers. i squirmed, ran and escaped.

i was webelos at the time which if anyone cares is pretty good. i was almost a real boy scout.
