His smile looked a bit nervous when I told him I'd received one, so maybe he's afraid of the same! But hey, he's the one who's told me repeatedly what a good creative outlet a musical instrument is, so...

In other news about things he encourages me to do, I also went into detail this morning about a yoga pose I did yesterday (from a high-intensity yoga workout thing I joined) that I think injured my back. It wasn't until after I described it that I realized it sounded very much like a sexual position (on all fours, aka Table, with leg extended out and kicking up--no, I didn't demonstrate!). He said that would be hard on the lower back.
