Fran is attending the opera and wants a violin...


I know I just posted, but I couldn't resist this new development!
Fran is going through a pretty profound change of life, a turning point born of disillusionment and several "aHA" moments piled on top of each other. You know how that goes, right?

By the time I confided in her my opinion (today) that college education provides no more than 30% of a total education, she already understood. Despairing of the limited horizons and interests of her younger college friends (she is almost 24, most of them are about 19), she has suddenly got up the courage / is desperate enough to foray out into the world solo to attend events that interest her. As I write this, she is at a live, 3-hour OPERA for the second evening in a row!

She also announced (not for the first time) that she wants a violin! She's mentioned a violin about 12 times, and a guitar about twice. It is a skill she wants to develop, and I think it would lead to good places in her life.  She is very disciplined, and goes a bit nuts when there is nothing to do...

So if you happen to have a used violin in the attic...
