reminds me of another joke
"I don't like to plan my day because then the word 'premeditated' gets thrown around the courtroom"
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

True story: My 40th high school reunion was held this past Saturday. The local police department held an impromptu field sobriety checkpoint in town that night as well. Coincidence? I think not(*)!
(*) It wouldn't surprise me to find that my classmates have spent more on alcohol rehab than on their children's college educations.

From video to video I hopped and found another gem. Veena Srivani - YouTube
I don't know if her real name is also Veena because the instrument she plays is a Veena.

I found this Youtube channel where the recreate popular music from popular Hollywood films using Indian music instruments. I liked it. See if you do: Tushar Lall - YouTube
I really liked the idea of using apple's siri to add to music.

I like specificity with wording, so reading this I had to look up whether abort or terminate would be the best word choice.
