I’m trying to listen to a Jefferson Airplane playlist on my iPhone and have it stream over to the HomePod on the shelf above my desk.
It keeps crapping out on me. Failure is the theme for this day.
Robin stares off into infinity, pondering the mystery of audio streaming between two Apple devices.
How’s your Sunday going? Relaxing? Nice weekend day off? I hope so.
I am finding motivation very hard to come by. I got up a little late, did my exercise, ate my breakfast, wrote my daily writing prompt post, recorded a bunch of songs worth of crappy vocals, made the bed, and…
Apart from making lunch for me and my wife (burgers in a frying pan and french fries in an air fryer) I haven’t been able to push myself to accomplish anything else. I am going to try and play some guitar right now. Maybe for an hour or so. I am going to make dinner later, another Dinnerly meal like last night only hopefully my wife will cook it with me. If she does, she does. If she doesn’t, that’s okay too. I just wish I had a little more pep in me step, so to speak. I slept okay last night. Not great. I woke up at 3:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep right away. Eventually I did, and then I overslept a little. Funny how that happens on the weekends. Tomorrow is a vacation day (not related to the presidents day holiday which post-trump I will no longer capitalize) and I am wondering if the oversleeping will happen again. Who knows. Who cares.
It’s been an hour since I ate anything which means (by gastric bypass rules) I can drink something now. I think I’ll top off my water bottle with some sugar free Crystal Light lemonade and trek down to the cellar to play some guitar. What do you think? Good plan?
Get to it, red head.
We ordered Chinese food for dinner tonight. We ordered two chicken dishes. Orange chicken and something else I can’t spell or pronounce.
We… well… we can’t tell them apart. One had something that looked like it might have been a piece of orange so… maybe?
It was really good though.
Now we are dipping our entertainment toes into the Sopranos. Thanks to Google I finally know what Jefferson Airplane song is playing in Christopher’s car.
Life is good. So is chicken.
I’m so down over Paul Kantner’s passing. It seems stupid to be so effected by the death of someone I never met, but this sucks.
I’m putzing around on youtube. Here are a few…
This is from February 1970. It’s not Spencer Dryden on drums, so it must be Joe Covington. Give this a NSFW tag due to language and a little hippie toplessness, but it’s worth it for “We Can Be Together” and “Mexico”.

Did you know that Jefferson Airplane did a rooftop concert that was broken up by the cops a whole year before the Beatles?
Monterey Pop.

This one says it’s from 1970, but I don’t think it is. I think it’s a bit earlier than that. Spencer Dryden is on the drums and I think he left in December 1969 after Altamont. But what do I know. This clip more or less proves that Jack Cassidy is a god. Just saying.
