How to Feel Like an Idiot

I'm doing two things that make me feel like an idiot, an absolute rookie. I'm learning to play the classical flute from scratch. And I'm learning the Irish-Gaelic language.

When I first picked up the flute, I couldn't make a single sound on it. Now I'm making big progress! I can sound out G, A, B, C, D. 

And now for a mighty leap: higher register E, F, and G. Having some trouble with these notes!

The Irish-Gaelic is another story for another blog entry.

I must say that I am proud of myself, starting these very challenging things at age 63.
