I played my new Les Paul today. First time in over two months. I had two songs to work on and I only got to one, but it was awesome. I love that guitar. I celebrated a wedding anniversary with the woman who bought me that guitar for my 50th birthday last year and somehow that makes it all that much cooler.
Only people who have had weight loss surgery during back patio cookout season will get a chuckle at this post.
If you’re in the know, you’re welcome.
We are likely going to have our first cookout of the summer today. Highly appropriate for Memorial Day.
I’m just prepping the patio for now. Setting up the furniture and making sure the umbrella still works and cleaning the grill.
Hope it doesn’t rain, right?
Jen and I just watched Jurassic Park. It absolutely still holds up. Great flick.
I wonder why they never made a sequel (cough cough). You’d have thunk they could have cashed in big time if they had ever made a sequel (cough cough). They could have turned it into a franchise or something (cough cough).
Bertha the plant clipping’s newest leaf hasn’t even opened yet and there is already a new branch growing in. She’s insane!
The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a live feed from their penguin enclosure!
I hope this works as an embed. Fingers crossed.

Now that that’s out of the way, there are no lingering effects from last night’s nausea adventure. I had some scrambled eggs for breakfast and apart from feeling a little gun shy there were no issues. I’m about 20 minutes away from being able to have a drink. I’ll probably have a protein shake and get that puppy out of the way.
Music. What’s up with that? I have four songs I’m working on, all for the next round of re-recordings. I’m dumping the record every month song. It is too lame even for me. Two of the four songs are ready for vocals. Am I ready for car vocals? Are my innards ready? Am I going to be able to push enough air to hit the high notes? I don’t know.
What else? This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. Tomorrow is Memorial Day. It’s also our 13th wedding anniversary. It’s going to be a pretty fantastic day. We are hoping to try a mini cookout for lunch. Jen wants to try turkey burgers. I’ll probably try to have half a patty without bread or condiments or anything, I’m looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to everything,
My goal for today is simple. Take smaller portions when I eat, and take significantly smaller bites as I go. Let’s not have a repeat of the nausea adventure, m’kay?
Happy Sunday.
See this t-shirt?
I bought it shortly before the surgery. It didn’t really fit. It almost fit, but it was a smidge too small.
It still doesn’t fit all that well today, but it’s definitely better than it was.
So is that a weight loss milestone? Naw, probably not. Close, but not really.
Next time will be better.
