To get laid! (can i say that?)

Oops. 23 words. Having a rough morning.

Because I cannot carry a piano around.

Seriously, "Because it pleases me."

Ages 13-18: Because it was incredibly fun and addicting and a challenge

Ages 18-21: College interrupted and I gave it up

Ages 21-27: Ah, the corksniffing years...the fun was in how "boutique" the purchase was

Ages 27-30: It's becoming fun again...without all the cork...
