What makes someone a professional in this context? I've been running events for 20 years now. Do I count?

Tuba and Clarinet, I was much better at Tuba - even though I played it for a much shorter period of time. Wrong embouchure for woodwind I reckon. 12 years of band, and I never could sight read music, I had to mark up my fingering.

Time cannot be stopped, it chugs on - and this too shall pass - whatever *this* happens to be, relish today for what it is, a gift, and spend less time on whatever topic of the day excites others - it'll all be forgotten anyhow soon enough. 6/6

The point of this long wending tale - is that remember the things in life that bring you joy, love, warmth - because those things - if nourished - will bring you comfort for years to come. 5/?
