The work day candles are still a regular part of the lock down work from home process. At least until we run out of them.

Opening Day Fail
Is this a sign? Is this a bad omen for the Red Sox season?
Opening day… rained out… fail.
Bad Guitar Playing
There was guitar playing tonight. Bad, bad guitar playing, and not in the ironic use of the word bad. Bad in the literal sense.
Bruins Win
I only saw the overtime and the shootout, but I think the Bruins might have pulled off a nice comeback win tonight. Let’s hope it’s a sign of good things to come.
Eric’s Birthday
Eric Clapton celebrated his 76th birthday today and I’m guessing he didn’t wear a mask.
I can overlook a lot of shit from my musical heroes, I’m looking at you drunken racist immigration rants back in the… whenever that was, but the anti mask shit you pulled recently… just fuck you, bro.
I still want to hear him play live again. Just one more time. That’s despite the anti mask shit. I mean really… fuck you, bro.
So instead of birthday wishes here’s a pic from 1966 with the legendary Marshall combo amp behind him, and the even more legendary, dare I say almost mythical, 1960 Les Paul Standard in front of him.
Assuming the Instagram link works, of course…
(The guy next to him is John McVie who about two years later became the Mac in Fleetwood Mac)
Drive
I dropped off my AppleWatch at a FedEx drop box and picked up my parents’ laundry. It’s always nice to go for a drive through town.
Translate
I just installed a cat translator app.
Finally I’ll get to know what Patches is talking about!
Come here and meow at me, you goofy cat!
I Promise
I promise I’m not going to buy anymore guitar gear for the foreseeable future.
This was the last…. for now.
Sexism on TV
Harry has been rewatching The Flash. I rewatched the whole series this fall too. Something popped out at me today that I didn’t connect in previous viewings.
There is a sexist hypocrisy playing out in the first two seasons. Allow me to explain.
In season one, Detective Joe West finds out that his daughter is dating his partner and he is not happy about it. He talks about how worrying about his daughter’s relationship is going to get in the way of his reactions during dangerous situations in the line of duty.
In season two he has a new, female partner. When he finds out that she is dating his son he’s fine with it. No trouble at all.
Hypocrisy: Partner dating daughter = bad. Partner dating son = good.
Think about it, won’t you.
Watch Charger
It’s charging right now, but I’m guessing it won’t be charging within the next couple of minutes.
