So how much later did you sleep this morning since your work is now like two blocks away?

Striped sheets are the only way to go. They help when you're trying to figure out which is the little end and which is the longer end. I KNOW it seems like it would be obvious but with sheets being so deep now (to accomodate mattress toppers, etc) sometimes it's hard to tell. Stripes lead the way.

Good for you, Jim!

Indeed. Maybe I'll learn to play guitar.

Maybe you'll learn to play the organ?

I'd suggest that he mastered the organ 25 or 30 odd years ago.

Probably not. Many old/vintage musical instruments need (a lot of) money spent on 'em to be made playable again and they may not have been all that good in the first place (even a Wurlitzer ...). This one doesn't look old enough (yet) to be of interest to the specialist collector. Let's hope it survives the next ten years or so ...

I wouldn't feel right selling it. I figure it belongs to the land lady.... But I don't mind having it to play and or put picture frames on. I think it's cool.

Oh goodness, i wasn't suggesting you sell it! Just that it looked like the sort of thing that people find in dusty attics, or garages that turn out to be worth thousands.

It's certainly cool! I thought it was in a shared hallway - but you mean it's in your flat (= apartment)? Ver-ry co-ol! Lucky you!
