Patience is a Virtue or Something

The 50/90 challenge starts in about a week. It’s probably not the best idea to try and force out a song this close to the starting point. A song that had it waited a week would have been one of the (hopefully) 50 but now cannot be. You know.

Maybe a little patience is warranted on the musical front right now?

Screw that, I need this.

I took out my new guitar again and told myself that the first thing I play is going to be worked into a song. Welp, here we are a little while later and there aren’t any lyrics and there isn’t a melody, but the song structure is there and the rhythm guitars, bass, and drum parts are all down.

Good boy.

I need to come up with lyrics for this one and the one from the other day so that I can do some car music in the morning. Tomorrow is my last chance this month… I think. Schedules are screwy, you know?

Want some unrelated good news?

Harry’s paying us a visit tonight. WOOHOO! Harry time!

Around the Block

I drove around the block today. By “the block” I actually mean about 25% of the city, but it’s kinda a block if you squint a little.

Lots of construction downtown. New sidewalks, maybe?

It’s another gorgeous day out there. A really good day for a half day from work, a doctor’s appointment, a haircut, and an inspection sticker for the Mazda. Also a drive around the block.

Visits

The last time I was here was May 1, 2021 and I think it was the first business I went to post-vaccine.

The last time I was here was March 14, 2020 and it was one of, if not the, last business I visited before locking down completely for the pandemic.

Haircut: complete. State auto inspection: in progress.

Noisy Birds

The weather is spectacular today. Clear, sunny, mild temps in the mid-70’s. Perfect. Everything you want from June in New England.

I have the windows open and the AC off so it should be super quiet. It’s not though. The birds, man. The birds are being crazy loud. It’s like Bird Coachella or something. It feels like any minute now Roger McGuinn and David Crosby are going to tear into Eight Miles High*.

*Get it??? Noisy birds??? The Byrds??? Get it???
