Hmm, maybe I could afford a used one. Is there any voice/instrument to

MIDI software out there in musicland?

I think like diet, people can have various workout plans with varying

amounts of aerobics, strength and flexibility exercises. I love rowing

machines - they rock! It's actually one of the most intense workouts

there is, and upper body gets it good to boot! My Nordic trac ain't a

bad second best in that department. But yes, I am sure interval

training is more than sufficient for cardio needs. Interval training is

quite intense as well.

Too bad :-( . I have a couple of acres here in Saunaville, Taxes, so

it's not so far fetched a scheme for me. DH won't let me have goats, so

I thought bees might be a nice project. Just what I need, another project.
