Hi DSR,

I loved the kaleidoscopes. They're beautiful. Nothing like the one I used to have as a kid which was just some kind of cardboard construction you could turn and then some pieces of coloured glass would move inside and form patterns. I wonder if my parents still have it.
Yes, let's get together. Sounds like fun. I always thought Orange County was much further away from Woodland Hills than it actually is. I 1/2 hours is not so bad.
When I first started liking bluegrass music I wanted to play the banjo, but I was totally hopeless at it. Then I heard Bill Monroe play one of his breakneck speed mandolin instrumentals and that's why I started playing the mando. It's not so difficult to learn. Not like the banjo. Sometimes I think playing the mandolin keeps me sane because it is so relaxing. But some people would argue about my sanity.

Have a good day.
