Marshall Island, North Park, PA

Posted on August 8, 2012 by miriamtroxler

Recently, we went to North Park. We decided to explore Marshall Island.

It is a short walk from the parking area, across the road, and over the bridge to the island. The island is a wildlife habitat area so each of the benches along the edge felt very isolated. We saw ducks,

flowers, and other vegetation.

The walk around the circumference of the island was easy, short and flat. We did enjoy the views.

Persistence

Posted on July 22, 2012 by miriamtroxler

My brother visited last week. He has been riding across the country since May. You can read about his adventures on his blog.

Like learning to play an instrument, a big goal requires persistence.
Begin and practice regularly, then you will be on the road to your own milestones.

Scaffold as bike rack

You will create a collection of pieces you know well and can revisit.

Bike shop sticker collection

And like Mark, make many friends along the way.

Play-In Week, play outdoors

Posted on July 16, 2012 by miriamtroxler

Play-In Week was terrific. Everyone who participated made a ton of progress. We recorded over an hour of music. I will be mastering and making the cds in the coming weeks.

In Toronto there are public pianos anyone can use. The instruments blur the lines between art and music. Each piano is decorated by a different country. An innovative way to bring more live music into public spaces.
