Sewing as a Guide to Life

I really need to get in some quality sewing time to get my mind off piano shopping. Today I decided to visit the local, reputable piano dealer instead of just shopping for pianos on Craigslist. I left my new and exciting fabric stash to visit a piano showroom. I spent a couple of hours looking over the stock of uprights, both new and used. The store had some nice pianos, but the prices were higher than what I had been thinking of. I didn't have a clear idea of what to do, so I decided to relax and think about things. As I was walking out the door, I saw their digital pianos. I had never really played one and was curious about the sound, so the store owner gave me a demonstration. I was favorably impressed. I always considered a piano to be a living thing, with wood and strings that breathed. I'm reevaluating my thinking now. I heard that the digital pianos can be musical. A digital piano would also solve some problems. I wouldn't have to worry about getting it tuned and wouldn't worry about problems associated with low humidity (a major factor in Tucson). It also has some fun programs. For example, there are 50 recorded pieces with music. You can program the piano to play either hand's part while you practice the other. The piano sound can be made brighter or mellower. You can even turn the thing into a harpsichord for authentic sounding baroque keyboard music. The down side is that it is a computer, with built in obsolescence. Something new and more exciting is always around the corner. It would decrease in value more and faster than an acoustic piano. The cost is the same. What to do?? I should turn to my other life experiences for guidance, sewing in particular. I'm thinking of my many friends who have wonderful computerized sewing machines that cost more than the digital piano I'm thinking of, but are much smaller. There are programs that they just love and they have a good time with their machines. I haven't gotten a fancy sewing machine for a long time (20+ years). (This doesn't count my new serger, which is not a sewing machine.) The answers to life's difficult questions are often found in the world of sewing. I should just get the digital piano!!
