Happy New Year to All
 
Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Even though I am predicting the world will come to an end in 2009, on the chance that I am wrong, let me wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. Times have been tough for most of us, but let's try to put a positive spin on 2009. How about we agree not to worry about the value of baseball cards and just focus on making our lives better in any way we can.<br><br>And on the chance the world really does come to an end this year (I'm guessing it will be the second week of October), it's never too late to sell your baseball cards...or repent.<br><br>Have a safe evening, and if you're going out make sure you have a designated driver!

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>I was piano shopping at this music store on Long Island a couple of years ago. A salesman came up to me and asked if I would like to hear a demonstration of one of their digital pianos. He seemed anxious to strut his stuff, so I emitted a begrudging &quot;OK&quot;. <br><br>&quot;This is a little something that <u>I</u> composed!&quot; he said, then proceeded to play &quot;Arthur's Theme&quot; . STOP IT! If you're going to plagiarize, at least make it something good! I called him on it. He was NOT impressed! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif"><br><br>Unless Christopher Cross decided to pull a John Howard Griffin and move out to the Island to peddle pianos...
