Close but Not Quite

10 minutes before I was supposed to leave for the first full band practice in 3.5 years our singer let us know he was going to be stuck at work and had to back out.

Damn it.

The rest of us still got together. It was loud and fun, the way it should be. I’m not sure when we will be able to try for all four of us again but hopefully it will be soon.

My playing was terrible but most of the songs we played came back to me… eventually. It was good to see Kevin and Mike, and it was fun to play music with other people.

Until next time….

Packed Up and Ready

I have an amp and a pedal board at Mike the Bass Player’s house already. Pretty sure there are a bunch of mic stands too. I packed the bare minimum. A mic and a cable. Two guitar cables and an over drive pedal. One electric guitar. One pack of emergency strings.

Assuming my amp works… I’m ready to play.

Now I just have to finish the work day and drive to Mike’s house. I’m ready, kids!

Photogenic Felines

I had to go upstairs for something. At the top of the stairs you’re looking into my beloved wife’s office. This was what was looking back at me.

I took that with my iPhone but a few minutes later I came back with my Nikon in hopes of getting another shot. Nope. Robin had left the room and Lily was uninterested. I took this for my photo-a-day thing anyway. The light is more interesting but the cat’s pose isn’t.

I had to go looking for Robin too and I found her in the living room.

Photogenic felines are always distracting, don’t ya know.

Lunch Break

If the weather would just cooperate and stop raining once in a while, I would spend my lunch this way more often…

Oh my goodness, does this cheap, frozen burger patty taste goooooood. It’s four ounces and I don’t know if I can eat the whole thing, but it is so gooood.

Also, is it hot enough for ya?


ADDENDUM: An hour or so after posting this I am happy to report that my tiny little surgically altered stomach and I were able to eat the whole hamburger and a handful of french fries I had on the side. I am pleased with the whole experience. I’m also feeling very full right now. Not quite stuffed, but close. I really want a glass of water but I still have to wait 42 more minutes before I can drink anything.
