irony



While vacationing in Hawaii a few years ago, I picked up a ukulele-not one of those cheesy instruments you get at the souvenir shop along with T-shirts and Mauna Loa macadamia nuts. I actually made the purchase at shop specializing in ukuleles. I liked that the instrument is small and has only for strings. I had the impression that it would be easy to master. Ironically, a violin is roughly the same size and has the same number of strings. No one would call the violin an easy instrument to play. The irony does not stop there. Consider the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. The UOGB has taken the humble ukulele to a place so out there, you can't not respect the instrument nor not be entertained by this wacky ensemble of artists.

More iron-y. Today was day 6 of the weighted chin-up density program. I added more sets of 4: (7x4) + (4x3). I was planning on doing the same with thrusters, but didn't have the energy for it today-rough night.
