Yesterday I posted this daily writing prompt post…
After that, earlier tonight this happened:
See how the blog echoes real life? Crazy, right?

Celebrating my Monday day off from work by trying to get the cats to pose for pictures. Robin is always up for it, Lily… not so much, though she did sit on my lap for 0.68 seconds today.
I think I have zero chance of pulling off an album in a day today. I might be able to pull off an album in two days, or maybe even an album in a day and a half. I have two songs finished apart from a mix down and two songs that will be finished this afternoon. I don’t know the full running time but I think it’s about 16-17 minutes.
I wrote three songs last night including MIDI guide tracks and melodies and lyrics. I did a car music this morning and recorded the vocals for all four. Since then I have put lead and rhythm guitars onto two of them and came up with a chord change for a fifth song.
Obligatory Hipstamatic pictures……
Lily was going to be in these pictures too but she ran off.
Hipsta-Kitty, Hipstamatic Shake to Shuffle.
Back home at last. We stopped at the airport and dropped off the rental car and grabbed our car from long term parking and scooted home.
What a crazy three day adventure.




We are at a rest area in Connecticut but we are only 10-15 miles from Massachusetts.
There are Boy Scouts here giving away free coffee and donuts.


South Carolina, North Carolina which is almost entirely under construction, Virginia where massive traffic jams are apparently the norm, Maryland where massive traffic jams are also the norm, Delaware where we stopped for dinner, New Jersey where the traffic was okay but the Jersey Turnpike toll was $20.05… seriously, New York where the traffic is so bad even after 9:00pm on a Saturday that it makes Virginia and Maryland look like an amusement park, and finally just over the border into Connecticut where we will sleep for the night.
Holy shit, what a day.
In closing, this is a picture of a roller coaster at a park called King’s Dominion. I rode this standing/loop coaster back in 1989 while visiting with my high school band. I felt like a freakin’ daredevil riding that thing.
I would not call Richmond, VA one of my favorite cities, but I do have a fondness for it for some reason.

We are just passing through today. It’s already way behind us.
When being negative is a good thing…
