I do. My latest focus is on Edo-period (1603-1868) compositions for the 13-string koto.

TPAM drinks dairy milk. :milk_glass: (as opposed to non-dairy milk [any kind that does not come from a lactating animal])

I do drink milk. My sister has food intolerances and drinks almond milk. I love almonds, almond paste, almond cookies, macarons. I don’t like almond milk. She keeps trying to convince me of its goodness. I don’t like it.

TPAM has/had a little red wagon.

I think I just found a new focus as I am not all that familiar Japanese classical pieces. Thanks!

I used to have something nearly identical except it was green with the “John Deere” logo on the side.
TPAM loves mystery novels

You’re welcome! I hope to learn to play the koto one day; it’s my favorite Japanese instrument, though I am also intrigued by the shō. It may be helpful to know that the 13-string koto is the best-known configuration, but there are many others. Kotos with fewer strings are historically older (the first Japanese kotos had twelve [Nara period, 710-794], while their ancestor, the Chinese guzheng, started out with just five), and those with more strings—the most I’ve seen is 25—are generally 20th- or 21st-century inventions. In any event, welcome to the world of East Asian classical music!

I do, generally preferring “cozies” to more “realistic” genres.

TPAM has a crucifix in every room of his/her home.

Thanks UpUpAway I appreciate it. I’ve been to Japan a few times, and aside from touring, enjoying the cuisine and seeing some great pro baseball games it never dawned on me about classical music.

TPAM has seen a Japanese professional baseball game be it live or on TV.
 
Not baseball, but I’ve seen many of their soccer league matches, both live and in delay, but only on TV…never in person.

You’re welcome, @Milt 🙂

I have several crucifixes in the house but not in all rooms.
TRAM a nice collection of saint prayer cards.
 
Working on having a nice collection. I think I have about 5 currently.

TPAM is in the military
 
No. By the time I tried to enlist, I had chronic medical problems that prevented me from doing so.

TPAM wears perfume/cologne every day.
 
No.

TPAM has some East Asian or South East Asian ethnicity.

No I am just your basic Scottish/German mix.
TPAM has traveled traveled by train for a lengthy distance (not commuter trains)
 
Several times. My longest conventional train journey took roughly 20 hours to cover 900 miles, but more recently I’ve been known to take a high-speed train about 725 miles to see the mother-in-law. The trip lasts around nine hours.

No multiple-night train trips, though.

TPAM wears contact lenses.

I thought about getting contacts once, but decided not to after I heard the price. (they had to be specially made)
TPAM prefers tea instead of coffee?
 
Yes, especially iced tea. I like the taste of coffee, but it makes me jittery.

TPAM is afraid of needles (at the dentist and doctor).
 
Needles not so much since I have to take insulin shots several times a day, but dentists make me nervous.
TPAM dislikes liver and onions.
 
No, I like properly made liver and onions but it’s so easy to do them wrong.

TPAM wears at least one ring (aside from engagement/wedding jewelry, if engaged or married).

Nope…just the wedding band…I’d feel naked without it…

TPAM enjoys a good cigar.
