There’s a right way and a wrong way to do anything.
I sit in on my son’s violin lessons and take notes for him, Suzuki Class style. The last two lessons have mostly been about him correcting some posture habits that, if successful, will allow him to relax his left thumb just that little bit and thus result in a bigger, cleaner sound. Who’d have thought that the way you hold your opposite shoulder and bend your opposite elbow would eventually cause you to over-extend your thumb and mess up the tone of your playing?
Likewise with kayaking. Who’d have thought that hanging upside down and banging your head on the rocks as you pass wrong-way-up through a rapid could have an adverse effect on the way you hold your shoulders?
I may have had some elements of that last part transposed.
I’m sure there are easier ways to fall out of a zipped up boat than ‘blind panic’….
As for screechy violin… cinder block practice room at 5:30 am (only time could get practice space) cleaned up my act very fast. Massive amounts of incentive… heh.
Yeah, she better quit calling Kara old (though I still have a fairly recent day where I got a senior discount and CARDED to buy a bottle of adult beverage within four hours-talk about mind warp (not at a concert or sports game either))
Nikki looks cute in panel 2. Kara looks cute in panel 3.
PROOF! Proof that Nikki and Kara are the same person! Because they are never cute in the same room at the same time!
Now *that* is logic
SOMEONE watched Polka Dot Door as a child. LOL
I love the way Kara has to warn people with a kind a peaceful yet sadistic smile.
it’s very close to the way I do it. except at times, I add the ‘Frostbite tone’ to it. VERY EFFICIENT.
Respect for TEACHERS?!? GREG!! 😉
Upside down, banging your head on rocks, going through rapids. You’ve just explained a lot about yourself Greg. ?
Reminds me of a favorite quote by Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear: “You’ve lived your life right, when you enter the gates of heaven. At 150 miles per hour. Backwards. In a ball of flame.”
She is never more happy when she is hated for being right.
Kara’s umbrage in the last panel reminded me of the following exchange from The Hollywood Squares:
Peter Marshall: As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands while talking?
Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question Peter, and I’ll give you a gesture you’ll never forget.
