Finally Getting Stuff Done

I had a very unproductive morning. I went grocery shopping for some Thanksgiving stuff.

This afternoon, however, was better. My daily exercise is done. I made lunch for my beloved bride. I put lead guitars onto four songs. My fingertips are killing me, but I feel better about the state of the universe right now.

How about some obligatory guitar pictures.

Oh yeah, and did I mention that I played through my amp instead of using a direct input into my USB audio interface.

Now we’re going to order some take out and Harry will be joining us for dinner.

Excellent.

Blogiversary: Missed

Four days ago, November 18th, was the 16th anniversary of the start of this blog. Sort of. It was the 16th anniversary of the start of the blog I had on blogger.com that was moved to wordpress.com in 2012 and then moved to medium.com for a while and then moved to a new wordpress.com at some point in time that I don’t remember. 11/18/08 was the day that I started a blog that was public facing, so that’s the anniversary date that I celebrate here. Before that I had private posts on myspace. Before that (briefly) I had private posts on yahoo360 (remember that one? No? Neither does anyone else).

Allow me to celebrate the 16th blogiversary with a picture of a cat because what the hell else would I post to honor an anniversary?

Photo a Day Challenge: Options

It’s silly that I still do the whole photo a day challenge project thing. It’s almost always going to be a picture of a cat, or a guitar, or the view out of my home office window. It’s bad on the days I have to travel into the office because then it is likely going to be a picture of the parking lot, or my keyboard, or… nothing.

This week I may be in the office four days. That’s crazy in this post-covid world, but that’s how it’s working out. Often on in the office days I take a picture of something when I am in the cellar doing my morning exercise. Yesterday it was a guitar. Today it’s a candle. Let me show you…

Who knows what it is going to be tomorrow and the next day.

As it turns out, I actually ended up with options today. Surprise! I had to put gas in the car so that I could make the long (44 miles, about 90 minutes) commute. I could have used this picture for today’s photo a day instead of the candle…

Or, I could have used this one…

I mean… are those puppies art or what? I can almost smell how impressed you are (#sarcasm).
