Many Happy Returns! 

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Thank you all very much!
The late reply isn’t a sign of being aloof (which easily could have been). No, I simply didn’t see this thread until now, and that only by pure hazard while I checked up on a name brought to my attention.
There is no lack of plans for the future. There only is one weak factor in all of them. And that factor is myself, as I am not consistently as strong as I would like to be. But then things are all very much better than before I went to a hospital for intensive medical treatment in May of 2007.
Since then I have moved to a home without stairs. All of my brasses are on stands, shelves, or hooks in my living room and their number is still growing. I play fairly regularly, even if it is not on as many of the instruments as I would like. I always start with the BBb’s, as they give the best lung exercise.
Again, thank you all very much!
