what to do in the car

My friend and frequent *hevruta, Rhonda, has been teaching herself a bit of ukelele.  In our circles, pretty much everyone plays an instrument.  Many of you know that we have alot of instruments, and I used to be good at some of them, while Kenny is virtuosic at some and can get by on many others.

We have 2 ukeleles, one "real" wooden one, and one toy plastic one (used for Hawaii-themed parties, etc.).
Of course, the real one doesn't fit in the case......

Since I have finally entered the world of smart phones (DROID), I have 2 uke apps on the DROID.
My plan is to learn 3 chords before we get to California.  Kenny says that for most Jewish music, you only need 3 chords....

Other things to do in the car: review High Holiday **nusach, courtesy of Cantor Jack Kessler's CDs.  Jack says that I should use headphones, since Kenny will shortly get sick of it, but I don't think so.  I will be compassionate and bring them along.

**=The melody of prayers for different times of the year.  We might be singing the same prayers on Shabbat, Sukkot, and Rosh Hashanah, but the melodies are different....
