I just learned how to call in a lunch order from my dad’s hospital room. I feel like a big boy now.

Mangled Finger Tips
I played some guitar this morning. I put rhythm and lead tracks onto one 50/90 song, and leads onto two more. I played very poorly and my finger tips have been torn to shreds. Serves me right for going almost a week without playing at all.
Here is a photo to prove that I don’t always have my guitar’s volume controls maxed…
(I was doing the Clapton thing where you use both pickups but roll the neck pickup’s volume off a little. It’s not as famous as his “woman tone” thing [dude, come up with better names for this stuff] but it’s something he did when he was still playing Gibsons. Oh, and the woman tone thing? Play the neck pickup and just turn the tone knob all the way down. He sometimes did it with both picksups as well, turning both tone controls all the way down)
Finally, in case you were wondering…
Not Today, Not Tomorrow
No guitar playing today. I’m in the office again and there wasn’t time before work and there likely won’t be time after work. I expect the same tomorrow as I’ll be in the office again. That will be three days this week. Ouch.
Thursday though. Expect good news on Thursday (but don’t bank on it).
Errands
Obligatory Methuen Center clock pics taken while out running an errand.
Rainy and dark, heading toward Lawrence.

Cat Damage
I wonder which cat has been eating the leaves off of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Plant Clipping?
I bet it’s this little flirt machine…
Gibson
Is the hashtag supposed to be #GibsonDay or is it #GibSunday? They both work. Should I just use both of them?
I haven’t played today, but I did get a couple of pics for whichever hashtag is the right one. I am so unhip.
Nap
Anyone else jealous?
Sunday Stuff
Lots of stuff going on today. It started with car music. I put vocals onto the four songs that were ready and then wrote the lyrics and the melodies to two more as I was recording. One of them suuuuuucks. The other might be okay.
Errands run, chores done, worry over my dad worried. I am hoping to spend some time with Bellana today before she goes back to Vermont tomorrow. I feel like I’ve been missing her visit.
Random picture time. First, my “recording studio” view. Can you believe how terrible the light is? The weather is dreadful right now.
Next, the center of town. Clock included.
And in closing… cats.
