It Was Just a Matter of Time

May 8, 2021. The musical nerd moment I lived today has been inevitable since May 8, 2021. On that day, my 50th birthday, my beloved bride bought me the best birthday present ever. A new guitar. A Gibson Les Paul Standard 50’s. Since that day I have been living the life of a glutton who owns two, that’s right, two Gibson Les Pauls. I’ve had a Les Paul Custom since 1990, and now I have two. From that day on it has been inevitable that I was going to be a total nerd and record some music with the guitar parts doubled using both Les Pauls together.

Today became that day, of course. I put rhythm guitars onto five RPM Challenge songs. In each case, the guitar coming out of the left speaker is my Les Paul Custom and the guitar coming out of the right speaker is my Les Paul Standard.

Yeah… nerd.

Photo a Day: 153/365

Today’s photo a day comes from me taking way too many pictures while wandering around Disney Springs. I am really tired now (it’s 10:03pm) and I need to get some sleep because we fly home tomorrow afternoon and still have much to do to get ready.

My Kingdom for a Zoom Lens

Can you see the kitty in this picture? I’ll probably crop it someday, but oh would a zoom lens have come in handy on the Animal Kingdom Safari yesterday.

Today will see us at Hollywood Studios. Will it also see us at Epcot? Who knows. If it does, there will be 1000000000 pictures of the giant golf-ball-looking-thing in the near future.

After Hours

We did an after hours event at Magic Kingdom last night. The crowd seemed bigger than our previous after hours things, but it was still pretty small. It’s almost, though not quite, like having the amusement park to ourselves.

We rode Space Ranger Spin twice. The second time I did pretty well.

Something is Up

Look at that face. That’s the face of a furry creature who knows that something unusual is going on in our house.

I just happened to be changing the lens on my digital camera, after having just loaded a roll of film into a non-digital camera, and she came in to see what was up. She’s on to us. She knows.
