Wiping them down. Changing strings. Talking about buying them and selling them. Lusting after ones most of us can never afford. Upgrades. Reading about them. Talking about them on here. All the labor of love.
Then tonight I looked over at my two(soon to be 3)babies sitting there and actually picked one up and started to play it. Life is good. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

For some reason, this thread reminds me of every girl I've ever dated.
