Thank you to Scott Yee who called to give his support.

Last Friday (10/21) I won the bid on a General Music S3 Turbo, which has polyphonic aftertouch. I paid immediately using PayPal. I emailed the seller to acknowledge receipt of funds and let me know about shipping. He did not respond. I hope he doesn't try to keep both my money and the keyboard. Any suggestions if he doesn't ship. How long should I wait before I do something and what should I do?

Regarding my errant daughter, she called me to drive her to a classmate's house to work on a school project. I drove her and for once, she didn't change the radio station from my favorite to hers. I gave her permission to stay overnight and go to school with her classmate. She emailed me to inform me that she scored an 800 on the Math SAT II. Not only did she do well, but she wanted me to know about it. So it's not all bad.

Another daughter brought home a corn snake from school for the long weekend and it escaped. Any advice on finding a 3-foot corn snake would be appreciated. This daughter will be reluctant to return to school until it is found. She's out today and I am skipping work to help her look for the snake.
