Grandpa's Tobacco Jar (1957) In English and Spanish

He sat down in his sofa-chair-behind the tall reading lamp, that extended an inch or so over the back of the chair, taking one of his wooden pipes laying in the standup ashtray next to his chair, and stuck two matches together-Chick (his grandson) sitting on the couch observing him from the corner of his eye, while watching a western on television, he had previously filled the pipe with tobacco from his tobacco jar he kept on his bedroom dresser, and once lit he dropped the matches into the ashtray, for once not missing it, and having it land on the floor: mumbling and cussing all the time under his breath, like who-knows-what, only he knew what he was saying, the Old Russian Bear, as Chick called him, figured he simply did it out of habit, or perhaps talking to his demons.

"Dont ya go-a turin' da channel ven I gone, ya her-me!" he said to Chick as he stood up, walked through the bedroom to the bathroom, never once looking at Chick longer than a half-second, it wasn't a question, although it might have sounded like one, it was a statement, and perhaps in a light form, a statement-question, yet rhetorical, not necessarily meant to be answered verbally, only acknowledged with a look, or nod of the head. Once old grandpa (not quite five-foot tall) disappeared into the shadows of the bathroom door, now open for a spell-soon to be shut, Chick quickly got up and hightailed it to the kitchen knowing the direct route to the icebox, and knowing exactly where the pears and apples and oranges were, and out they come one by one into his side pockets of his robe, and next, he rushed back like a deer to where he was sitting, picking up his old apple, as if to disguise his race against time, then a second later, grandpa appeared, he was mumbling and cussing again, and Chick looked up from his position on the long coach, a flat affect on his ten-year-old face as if he had never left, his heart hardly pounding, grandpa brushing off the ashes from the sofa-seat of his sofa chair, his eye caught Chick eating the apple, unknowingly, the next three apples he had put in his robe pockets, would appear one by one-(in due time), to him as if he was eating the same one-slowly; it was simply, he didn't' want his grandpa to discover the principle of his deception at its most fundamental obscurities, lest he be made fun of for eating him, and his mother and his brother Mike-whom all lived together as if in an extended family, out of house and home, because the Old Russian Bear took a disliking for that chopping and chewing noise and seeing and monitoring (which he didn't have to do, but seemingly by compulsion forced to do) eating, apple after apple, after apple, and you can add that pear and orange in there, it annoyed him, and made him mumble and cuss more. Grandpa took another look, Chick now blinking as if he had something caught in his eye, he had eaten the apple core and all, as he had learned to do-part of the three-year deception, from ten to thirteen, and had a new apple in his hands, this time grandpa looked a second and a half, said, "Humm...mmm..." as if he was trying to figure out the charade, then back to those new formed cuss words, half in English and half in Russian, so no one could ever figure out completely what he was saying, he had his own black book of cuss words, it would have seemed, somewhat coded.

Was Chick a sneak? Yes, oh yes, sneaky he was-likened to a spider to a fly (but sneaky because it was called for, out of demand for the right to eat his fruit and watch television at the same time his grandpa was watching it), and he'd tell you so right to your face, upfront, if you'd had asked him, he'd even had told you himself, "Boy am I sneaky, but I got to be..." and had you been there, you might have even caught him mumbling something to that effect, as his old grandpa sat bolt upright in that sofa chair, watching 'Da Long Ranger,' or 'Hop-along Cassidy,' (or dat cowboy vith da white hair) as he'd referred to the two of the many westerns he'd watch-peacefully watch; yet, and nothing nowhere, and nobody anywhere in the world anymore could anguish or disturb him, and consequently he got a rest from that automatic cussing he did, lest they wanted that black book of cuss words to come out and the echo sounding like drums beating and not knowing exactly what they were saying but knowing they were cuss words of some nature, because he was in his tomb of silence, for the evening, and forevermore loving it, and God forbid, should you disturbed him at this sacred moment.

Spanish Version

El Tarro de Tabaco de mi Abuelo
(1957)

Mi abuelo estaba sentado en su sillón-detrás de la alta lámpara de lectura que se extendía dos centímetros o más sobre el respaldar de la silla-tomando una de sus pipas de madera del cenicero con pedestal cerca de su silla, y juntando dos fósforos; Chick (su nieto) sentado en el sofá lo observaba por el rabillo de sus ojos, mientras miraban una película del oeste en la televisión, él previamente había llenado la pipa con tabaco de su tarro de tabaco que él guardaba en una cómoda en su dormitorio, y una vez prendida él tiró los fósforos en el cenicero, por única vez no fallando al hacerlo; murmurando y diciendo palabrotas todo el tiempo bajo su aliento, quién sabe qué, sólo él sabía qué estaba diciendo, el Viejo Oso Ruso, como Chick lo llamaba y se imaginaba que simplemente lo hacía por costumbre, o talvez hablando con sus demonios.

"No vayas a cambiar de canal cuando me vaya, ¿me oíste?" él le dijo a Chick mientras se paraba y caminaba a través del dormitorio hacia el baño, nunca mirando a Chick más de medio segundo, no era una pregunta, aunque ésta hubiera sonado como que lo era, era una afirmación, y talvez en una forma ligera, una pregunta-afirmación, aunque retórica, no necesariamente significaba ser respondida verbalmente, sólo reconocerla con una mirada o movimiento de cabeza. Una vez que el viejo abuelo (no exactamente 1.55 m. de estatura) desapareció entre las sombras de la puerta del baño-ahora abierta por un periodo, pero pronto a ser cerrada-Chick rápidamente se levantó y se dirigió hacia la cocina sabiendo la ruta directa hacia la nevera, y sabiendo exactamente dónde estaban las peras, manzanas y naranjas, y afuera ellos salieron y fueron uno por uno dentro de sus bolsillos de su bata, y luego, él corrió de vuelta como un venado a donde él estaba sentado, agarrando su manzana anterior, como si para disfrazar su carrera contra el tiempo, luego un segundo más tarde, el abuelito apareció, él estaba murmurando y diciendo palabrotas de nuevo; Chick lo miró desde donde estaba en el sofá largo, con una expresión plana en su cara de diez años de edad como si no se hubiera movido, su corazón apenas latiendo. El abuelito, cepillando las cenizas de su asiento de su sillón, miró a Chick comiendo la manzana, sin saber que las tres siguientes manzanas que él había puesto en su bolsillo aparecerían poco a poco- (en el debido tiempo) -para él era como si Chick estuviera comiendo la misma manzana, lentamente. Esto era simple, él no quería que su abuelito descubriera el principio de su ardid en su más fundamental oscuridad, por temor a ser burla de querer comerse a él, a su madre y a su hermano Miguel-quienes todos vivían juntos como en un clan familiar, fuera de casa y hogar-y el Viejo Oso Ruso había tomado un disgusto a ese sonido al comer y ver y monitorear (que no tenía que hacerlo, pero aparentemente por una fuerza compulsiva se vio forzado a hacerlo) el comer, manzana tras manzana, y puedes agregar esa pera y naranja allí, esto lo molestaba, y hacía que él murmurara y renegara más. El abuelito miró otra vez, Chick ahora pestañeaba como si tuviera algo en sus ojos, él se había comido la manzana con corazón y todo, como él había aprendido a hacerlo-parte de los tres años de astucia, desde los diez a los trece-y ahora tenía una nueva manzana en sus manos, esta vez el abuelito miró un segundo y medio, dijo: "Humm...mmm.." como si él estuviera tratando de entender la farsa, luego volvió a murmurar esas nuevas palabrotas, la mitad en inglés y la otra en ruso, parecerían de alguna forma codificadas.

¿Era Chick astuto? Si, ah si, él era astuto-similar como una araña a una mosca (pero astuto porque era necesario, por demanda por el derecho a comer su fruta y mirar televisión al mismo tiempo que su abuelito estaba haciéndolo), y él te lo diría directamente en tu cara, de frente, si tú se lo preguntabas, él mismo incluso te diría, "Cielos, soy un astuto, pero tengo que serlo..." y si tú estuvieras allí, talvez lo hubieras encontrado murmurando algo al respecto, mientras su viejo abuelo se sentaba erguido en ese sillón, mirando "El Llanero Solitario", o "Saltar junto con Cassidy" (o a ese vaquero con el cabello blanco) como él se referiría a las dos de las muchas películas del oeste que él miraba-pacíficamente miraba; aunque, nada en ningún lugar, y nadie en ninguna parte del mundo nunca más podría angustiar o molestarlo, y consecuentemente él hacía una pausa a esa automática forma de decir palabrotas; por temor que ellos quisieran ese libro negro de palabrotas para sacarlas y hacer sonar el eco como tambores golpeando y no sabiendo exactamente qué significaban pero sabiendo que eran palabrotas de alguna naturaleza, ya que él estaba en su tumba de silencio, por la noche, y acariciando éste para siempre, y Dios no lo quiera si lo perturbabas en ese sagrado momento.

5 Lousy Places to Put Your Piano

When you first bring your piano, you're likely to be very excited about your new purchase, and you should be! Buying a piano is an exciting investment in your future as a musician. But you must be careful not to make a common mistake and put it in a bad location. Here are five places where you should not put your piano.

These are applicable to both digital and acoustic pianos.

In a heavily trafficked area

Your piano is a complex, finely tuned instrument, and likely the most expensive piece of furniture in your house. You should avoid placing it anywhere where people will walk past and scratch it, bump it, rub up against it, etc. Be sure to avoid placing it where swinging doors will hit it.

Near a pool, bathroom, or kitchen

Water and humidity are like cancer to a piano; they will eventually destroy it. You should avoid placing your piano anywhere where the humidity changes are fast or violent, and of course avoid anything where it could come into direct contact with water. For example, avoid anywhere near hanging plants, aquariums, etc.

Near a fireplace or furnace

Heat is also a killer of piano wood, so you should avoid placing your piano within ten feet of a fireplace or furnace. You should also avoid radiators or vents where hot air will blow on the piano. You generally want the area of the house with the least variation in temperature.

In direct sunlight

This one might be more surprising to some people, but you want to avoid placing your piano in any area where it will receive direct sunlight. Not only can the heat warp the wood, but it can discolor or fade the finish of your piano, detracting from the appearance and value. The exception to this rule is when you keep the piano covered, but even then it's perhaps not the best idea.

Near any doors or drafty windows

Air blowing in from outdoors brings three things you don't want anywhere near your piano: dust, heat (or cold), and moisture. For this reason, you should avoid anywhere near a door to the outside of the house, or near any drafty windows. In most cases, outside walls are to be avoided in general.

A piano is a significant investment, but by taking a few simple precautions when you select the placement of the piano, you can ensure that you and your family will be able to enjoy it for many years.

Different Lamp Styles

There are different lamp styles that will brighten your room in different ways, but more importantly you need to make sure that it will complement your home decor. Choosing the wrong lamp may cause the entire appearance of your room to go completely out of sync. Depending on what bedroom settings you have, you need a table lamp that will fit your personal style. If your bedroom tends to be more contemporary and artistic in nature, consider a modern style bedside table lamp. These types of lamps are simple and sleek with a clean look. If you have a country feel to your home, then you should consider country-style table lamps. You will typically find that the base of the lamps have a lot more designs to choose from than the modern ones. These style of lamps also come in pastel colors.

The third type of lamps that we will get into is antique lamps. The authentic antique lamps tend to be more rare and worth thousands of dollars. The reason why they are worth so much is typically due to the fact that there is some sort of history attached to it. These lamps will increase in value over time as well, so you could view your purchase as an investment. On the other spectrum, you can get a manufactured antique lamp that is less expensive but yet still conveys the message you want communicated. It's really a matter of personal preference. Most people will not be able to tell the two apart, so if you don't care about authenticity then you should consider getting the manufactured antique lamp.

Be sure to go to all of your local brick and mortar stores to see all the different types of styles that are out there before making your purchase. Once you get a feel for what type of lamp you want for your home, look for your lamp online because you will be able to save least 20-30% off retail prices. I typically save up to 50% when I shop online because I cut out the middle men. Good luck on your quest for that perfect lamp for your home.
