Watch Robert's Cat Conquer the World
Out and about. Grocery shopping, running errands, stop light theater pics. The usual.
And just for luck, a bonus picture of a cat cuddling up between me and my wife on the couch earlier this morning. Perfect.
There is no reason for this post. Robin was looking adorable so it had to happen.
I want to go back to Disney World. Maybe not, but I do… I want to go somewhere. I want to go on a trip. Somewhere that my wife and I can hang out and relax and let the cares of the world go away for a few days… and I can take a lot of pictures on film.
Yeah. That’s the ticket. Let’s go on a trip!
On this day in 2008, 16 years ago, Jen and I moved in together. We rented a duplex in Methuen that had three bedrooms. Well… one bedroom might have started it’s life as a big closet, but it was a bedroom in theory by the time we moved in.
I don’t have a lot of pictures of the building. Why? I have pictures of people hanging out in various rooms, but very few of the external. The only good one I could find is actually the back of the house. The left half of this building was our half.
Note, the neighbors who lived in the right half of the duplex had access to that third floor, and rumor has it there was a hot tub up there. We didn’t have any access to the third floor at all. I think it was actually the attic. The other tenant also had a lot more basement space, but what we had was enough. I recorded a lot of RPM Challenge stuff in that tiny little basement space.
We moved in on April 19th. One month and one day later I proposed to Jen, right there in that tiny little back yard by that very gas grill.
Good times. Good times.
I played some guitar this morning before work. I have a nice, positive feeling of accomplishment. Granted what I needed to do was practice for this weekend’s band rehearsal but instead I recorded lead guitar parts for two songs. Quarantine Tunes Volume Seven is done with tracking. I have to mix the two songs I worked on today and then it is on to Volume Eight… which I already have one song that is a guitar solo away from being ready to mix.
I played through the direct output of two amps today. No noise. Headphones only. It is most definitely not as much fun as cranking out some actual sound and moving some air around, but it’s still always great to play. I used my ES-335, as you can see in the obligatory photo…
I wandered around while my lunch was cooking and I took a bunch of pics with my phone. Why? I don’t know. I just felt like it.
Okay, I know I’ve been overdoing it with the cat pics today, but here’s one more because I just can’t stop myself anymore.
Meow, bro.
The cats are absolutely riveted by the open windows. They can see and hear the back yard bird feeders from my office space (aka my step son’s bed room). They are utterly fascinated.
The temperature outside has topped 60 degrees. It is officially time to start opening the windows! Celebrate the fresh air and the breeze, everyone!
