Jim, the thing I find so great about reading is that our worlds don't shrink and become diminished when we can read about everywhere and everything. I feel the same about Connect and other social media. It is not my preferred way to have discussions with friends, but it is certainly better than none at all. My wife was a music major before settling into education and still plays on occasion when someone will be unable to do so at church. She thinks it sounds horrible, but to me, she still makes beautiful music and I bet you do to. I think when we do anything to the best of our ability, it is beautiful and isn't that always reserved for the eye/ear of the beholder. So you play and we will metaphorically enjoy!
