dinner gongs

a fellow performer said I would be good at playing the triangle if I was part of a music group. it reminded me of how my family bought a dinner gong from the Herbert hoover museum in west branch, iowa. since the president's father was a blacksmith. it was in response to me saying I could play the bongos or tambourine. he has spoken of being from gary, Indiana.
   my cohort is out of the office again today, some mention of a fall, and hand injury, over the weekend. so I was busy again getting the payoff report done, but it is caught up now.
