Look! I can get stars in my notebook!!

If I earn enough starts I'll get to pick something from the treasure box!

I'm sure my teacher Leo thought I was joking when I said I wanted as he normally teaches kids. Frankly, I respond to positive reinforcement as much as anyone! heh

My piano notebook with my name written with crayon! I ain't never growin' up!

My lesson and homework for next week!

Had my 2nd #piano lesson today!
I had whatever crap was going around so only managed to play 4/7 days this past week. I'm a little disappointed but life happens.
I got my piano notebook and my first stamp today! If I practice enough I'll get stars on my practice chart!

I need to learn to not engage my mouth before my brain. Sadly I think that's a lesson I'm not likely to learn, as an example.

Boss tells me that he's thinking about beginning random drug testing at work.

I say, "Fine, but I've never been a fan of crack and I don't do hallucinogens anymore."

Getting all the love from my #cat, Chloe.

Markham nails down all of the ways the "separatists" - including Smith - get it wrong.

Feeling lots of #nostalgia tonight I guess. I moved to #Vancouver because I wanted to spend time in the mountains and I did.
2 or 3 weekends a month for years. I climbed mountains. I wandered alone into the silent places, where no one could hear my name.
#backpacking

My goal then was to spend at least 52 nights a year in my tent somewhere in the backcountry.

I am now old, but I stomped trail, climbed mountains, and stood in the great silence all alone.

Thanks Grant!

From the local paper in St. Stephen, NB, The St. Croix Courier. I'm holding a linen piece of fabric that has been stamped with various Scouting motifs as well as the stamps for this World Jamboree

One last picture from my #ScoutingHistory.
This was the trip where I saw mountains for the first time in my life. I was blown away, I knew I wanted to live close to them once I graduated high school.
I also didn't want to give up the ocean, so Vancouver seemed the perfect choice.
#ScoutsCanada

My school picture that year was in my Cub uniform. I'm pretty sure I'm 7 or 8 years old in this picture.

The last picture I posted was of me when I was in Beavers.

#ScoutsCanada had a huge impact on my life. I was a youth member for more than a decade. I spent another two decades as a leader, and a trainer of leaders.
It's a large part of why I moved to Vancouver from the Maritimes.

This is who runs this account.

And it's #Day36 of playing my piano every day!

The first song I'm learning with my new #piano teacher is, Skip To My Lou!
Staying focused on hand shape, and which fingers to use. And we're working on my sight reading skills for the bass clef. #WeAllStartSomewhere

I had my first #piano lesson today! I learned things today, and he pointed out things I was not doing quite right.

Mostly around hand placement and which fingers to use but now is the time to learn good habits, not bad ones.
And new scales, and how scales work and why!

I had heard of it but had never tried it. It was delicious, I would try it again!

My first time getting a #beer poked! They take a red hot poker from the fire and use it to poke the beer.
Caramelizes it and you end up with warm foam but cold beer!

Thank you Catherine O'Hara for all the laughter you gifted us. From SCTV to Schitts Creek you were a comedic force.

A little bit of laughter left the world today, and we are the sadder for it.

Another photo from that same group. My tante Bernadette, 2nd row third from the right, Bernadette Boudreau a Jimmy Saco, is how she is labeled in this photo.
It's because she is #Acadian as am I, and it tells any other Acadian who we are.
I am Marc Boudreau a Jimmy Saco

I think this is a class photograph that includes my Dad. I have no idea what year it was taken in, but I have never seen a picture of him before he joined the military after highschool. Photo is labeled, he is Auguste Boudreau

I recently joined a FB Group and found a picture of my Dad.
I have never seen a picture of him before he joined the Air Force after high school.
Auguste Boudreau, my Dad.

Not as many in the last few years as I have though, lol!

I am still losing more games than I win but I am OK with that as I'm playing against people better than me and they're teaching me a lot!

He's playing white, I'm playing black and he is so close to putting me in checkmate it isn't even funny. Considering this is a rated game and how much of a difference there is in our respective ELOs this is seriously fucking funny. I declined it but I'm still laughing.

I get you may not be a #chess person but I've been playing and losing to aeon1 for awhile now. We chat and have developed a bit of a friendship through the app.
As I was crashing and burning again tonight, I messaged that this was likely a draw, so he offered me one.
I damn near shit myself laughing

I'll be 57 in April so I'm not exactly what most would consider young, but I get that age is relative.

Learning the piano is a bucket list thing for me.
I have other instruments that I like but this is the one I want to learn.

Today was #Day30 of me playing my #piano everyday.
Every damn day. Even when I didn't want to.
Send me all your good mojo for my next 30 days, please! 🎹

Great idea.

Has anyone else ever considered that they gave Jesus a Mexican name because of how heavenly their food is?
