<p>Anyways, if you played band in high school, it&#39;s never too late to take it up again. There&#39;s probably some community band nearby you can join.

<p>Just realized I&#39;ve been playing trombone for about seven years now (I restarted when my kids started to play in grade school). Seven years is same time I spent in graduate school so that puts a weird kind of perspective on it.</p><p>In an escalating world of AI hell, I must admit that trombone is a nice escape. If it&#39;s going to sound good, it&#39;s all on you.</p>

<p>It occurs to me that this sign is a pretty good illustration of optional type hinting.</p>
