Another Day of Snow Sucking Up the Place

I took the kids to their Dad’s house this morning so that they could catch their rides to school.  I was a little surprised by the state of some of the roads.  The snow ended yesterday morning, but it still was a little sloppy here and there.  Route 93 North seemed to be much icier than I had expected.

I’m working from home today, so I didn’t have to deal with my long commute.  My wife, however, has to go to a training in Boston today.  She left the house at 6:30am.  She called me at 8:00 and she’d only made it about half way, if that.  As of 8:15 she still wasn’t even remotely close.

Why?

Is this a case of the state dropping the ball on cleaning up the highways, or is it just an example of a phenomenon that occurs each year where most drivers react to the first snowfall of the year by completely forgetting how to drive in the snow.  I would guess that it’s a combination, but frankly the snow fell yesterday and both things should have been cleared up by today.

Hang in there, my love.  Be safe.  I love you!

The Meaning of Life

My work on this Earth is complete. My stepson and I went outside and shoveled the driveway. When we finished I told him to jump right into the shower. He protested, of course, but I told him he wouldn’t regret it. When he came out of the shower he said, “BEST SHOWER EVER!”

Like I said, my work here is done.

Music Projects Post Script

I said I dropped three songs from the Ancient History playlist because I wanted to save them for a volume 2 EP. The more I think of it, the more I want to just record them from scratch again. All of my November stuff had GarageBand project files that were started pre-update. Maybe I’ll use these four song as a 100% post-update experiment.

Music Projects

I have been loading music to my bandcamp.com site (please please please do not buy any music from me). I have taken my two projects from this past March-October and declared them complete… even though they aren’t actually as complete as I had hoped.

I took all of the leftover songs from past projects and collected them into this album:

I took my re-recording old songs project and shut it down… well… I actually split it into two projects. One band Mike and I had played in for a while recorded four songs at Northeast Broadcasting School. I have already re-recorded three of them. I decided that the next thing I work on will be the fourth of those songs, and then I’ll put them together as an EP sort of thing. That means that the other 10 songs can be called a complete project:

There are still more unfinished songs, but they will be added to yet a fourth pointless project. Fun, fun, fun.
