Lanterns

I had a million and one things on my to-do list for today and I didn’t Get to basically any of them. Now it’s 9:32pm and the only thing left is to watch the season finale of Lanterns. Let’s see if I can at least get that right. What do you say?

So Depressed

The Cornell rape case

Trump expressed support for the rapists because of course the rapist supports the rapists.

They fired a bunch of generals. How much you want to bet that the firings were based on some sort of loyalty test? Gotta get rid of those who might not support the next January 6th, right?

Now we find that they are launching a probe to try to clear Nixon? Fucking Nixon?

The US is no longer worth saving.

Leaf Peeping

They are saying that the fall foliage is going to look really great this year but it for some reason is reaching peak early. We usually try to go u pto the mountains the second weekend of October. We might have to go the first weekend this year. That’s this weekend. Tomorrow is Thursday October 1st. How the hell did that happen?

Last week I went for a walk through the woods on a hiking path in North Andover, MA. I had my little medium format camera with me. I wanted to shoot a roll and that seemed like a good place to do it. The lens is slow though and the film I had was slow too. It was a bright sunny afternoon but in the woods I would have needed a tripod. I thought it would be fun to go back to that place when the leaves changed color in Massachusetts but I would not have much photographic success with the setup I had that day.

So the internets just delivered a few rolls of 800 speed film. That plus my cheap-o tripod plus some fall color and I think I might get some good pictures in the woods. I’ll let you know how it goes.

In the meantime, I’m watching game two of the Red Sox wild card series against the fucking Yankees and the Sox have now gone 13 innings in the series without a run. I don’t know guys… maybe score some runs, m’kay?

2026 50/90 Challenge Day 77/90

Day 77’s update is the same as day 76. Nothing. We drove 2656382755 miles going from San Diego, CA to Phoenix, AZ via the moon or something. Today we are flying to Cleveland, OH and tomorrow we fly home.

We are travelin’ folks.

2026 50/90 Challenge Day 70/90

I’m typing this while sitting on an airplane. Ain’t life weird?

Yesterday was day 70. What did I do?

I put rhythm guitars on three songs. I put vocals and lead guitars on two of them.

I have 57 songs so far. 45 are done. I’ve been stuck on that number for a while now. Of the remaining 12, all but one are finished, I just need to mix them and upload them to the interwebs and then they’ll all be finished. The one remaining song has bass, drums (both of which are MIDI), and rhythm guitars. Next up I need to write the melody and the lyrics.

50 songs in 90 days. I think I’m gonna make it this year. Fingers crossed.

Late

You know I try to post something, anything, at least once a day. Is it a compulsion? Is it just a habit? Am I a creature of routine? I don’t know. What I do know is that it’s getting late and I haven’t posted anything of substance today. So here you go, universe.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend has arrived. Today is the first day of a three day weekend.

I had to take one of the cats to the Vet. She was just getting a vaccine booster shot, that’s all. The appointment was at 11:00. I was at the Vet’s office for almost two hours. Two. Hours. 

Now that I have started writing this literary tome I have come to realize that I have nothing to write about.

I played guitar today. Just for a little while. I played poorly. Very poorly. I was mad but being mad playing guitar is better than most other things in life.

I wife and step daughter played a trivia game tonight. They mopped the floor with me. It was fun despite my terrible performance. My step daughter is going to stay at her dad’s for the next week. The week after that she moves to California. As it works out, it means today is the last full day that we have her here before she moves away. The trivia game was part of that. So is movie night. 

It’s a good night.

One More Day

This work week has been nuts. Certifiably nuts.

Fortunately there is a long weekend on the horizon. Labor Day sucks because it means that summer is over, but it’s still a three day weekend and those are glorious by definition.

We just have to get through one more work day. One long, painful work day.

This weekend’s plans include a vet appointment, a visit to the in-laws, and hopefully lots of music and maybe some sunrise photography.

Just hang in there, folks. We’re almost there. Three Day Weekend, here we come!
