Like Brother, Like Sister

Odd.
Brother man and I
seem to be on the same wavelength today.
If you follow the link to his blog,
you'll see him speaking lovingly
of hobbiest cherished
and then put aside to collect dust.

Long before I checked his blog out this evening
I spent the afternoon shopping,
not in a store,
but in the corners of my house.

I pulled out my mandolin
for the first time
in at least two months
and played a few jigs
and christmas carols.

I dug out old software
and tried to teach myself
the Hebrew alphabet
for about the fifth time
since seminary.

A rare free time to play,
and why pay money
for a new project,
when there are so many
already bought and ready?
