Yes! I played clarinet for many years, but I went to such a small school that my junior year, the entire saxophone section was seniors and graduated and left us with no saxes. I switched to alto sax and loved it!

TPBM is planning to adopt a pet in 2025.

[Bea]

I am torn by that decision. I have had a dog continuously for years and then opted not to adopt a new one last year after Roxie because I was planning a LONG trip to Scotland this year.
