"Our social life consists of doctors and hospitals"

was just a little bit too much information given to me by the grandfather of a 13 y.o. boy who just enquired about the prices of one-hour lessons for a beginner.

I pointed out to him that a beginner only needs 1/2-hour lessons.

The one major flaw in the ointment is that he forgot to tell me near the beginning of the conversation that he was looking for a teacher to travel to his home to give the lessons.

Plus he only had some puny little cheap and nasty keyboard at his place.

Fewer and fewer teachers travel out to people's homes these days. Just the travelling between a, b & c kills it becuase of the time factor involved in dragging through traffic.

The conversation ended pretty quickly after that.
