For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 11, 2015

It ain’t easy to (as I call it) uncle around.

Maybe Michael doesn’t have the natural knack for it.

Throwing darts and imagining the target as what/whom?

Lynn’s Notes:

My brother, an accomplished performer, still teaches music, even though he has been retired for several years. There are still those special talented students to whom passing on all he has learned is a joy and a privilege. He has met his share of students who don’t practice and don’t have the passion. The line about playing darts was a genuine comment made at a time when teaching was often a chore.

You can pick your fights. You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends. But you can’t pick your relatives !

One of the Keys to teaching is having someone willing to learn. It makes everything much easier for Both Parties.

One of the things that being in the school band imparted to me is a real love of classical music. For that I am eternally grateful, even if I was one of those students who didn’t “have the passion”. My brothers did and still do. Me? I love to listen.

I think this is one of the best play on words ever! Relatively speaking! Tee hee! Thanks, again, Lynn!

Spoiler: Have patience Phil, April will follow in your musical footsteps.
