Indeed. In fact, I think some of the other scouts (and parents) were a bit
miffed, as everyone had clustered around my cooking site. They had also
given us ground beef and I made salisbury steak out of it. It was all
quite fun and funny.

Thank you for saying so. I suppose I was, actually. An only child with
two exceptionally bright and attentive parents. I began piano lessons at
age 4. During first grade my mother was asked to keep me home two days a
week from school because I was much too far ahead of the others. When in
second grade, I was skipped two grades ahead as well.

Thanks!
