Learning Guitar...continued

I love guitar music.  Classic Rock and Blues and Classical even some other categories.  I have taken guitar lessons twice in the past.  Neither time took.  My second instructor told me,"At this rate you'll be pretty good when you're 106."  Why is this such a chore for me?  It reminds me of having to sit down to do my homework.  I could find many things to do other than homework.  I decided to try guitar lessons again though.  It really doesn't matter if I fail and I'm not going to an instructor.  I bought a guitar course that has DVD's and a lesson book.  It looks to be very thorough and has many good comments on the internet.  One negative comment was that you have to learn to read music.  Many guitar players don't read music.  There are other musical notations for the guitar.  I'm okay with learning music.  I played trombone as a young boy, so I have some experience with reading music.  Anyway,  I should be practicing right now,  but I need to finish this blog.  Also, my guitar isn't set up very well, so maybe I will wait until I get it set up, then I'll start practicing so I can be successful as a guitarist.  I'm 66 right now, so I want to be pretty good by the time I'm 70 or so. 

I went in to help a friend with a ceiling problem yesterday.  We made progress on the project.  I just like to get away from the house and it's fun to have something to do rather than just visit.  I found out though that my car's heater isn't working.  I'm waiting to hear from the garage right now to see if it will be ready today or tomorrow. 

How's the shopping going?  I don't know why, but since we put up some Christmas decorations about a week ago, I'm feeling more positive.
