Now That Thanksgiving is Over

Ho Ho Ho and shit.

Thanksgiving Part Deux

Everything was delicious. Excellent, excellent.

Shoelace Time

Jen broke out the shoelace and the cats went crazy.

I cropped the hell out of these, but you don’t mind, do you?

I have a feeling that today might be one of those days where I flirt with a new record for most blog posts in one 24 hour period. I don’t know what the record for me is. It’s over 10, I know that. I just have a feeling that today might be one of those days, you know? Forgive me, please?

My Guitar is Home!

I went to the guitar shop at lunch. I made excellent time despite a road closure somewhere in Andover, MA.

I played my newly refretted guitar with its new bridge and its new nut and my first impression is that it still feels pretty good. The frets are a lot higher than I’m used to on this guitar, but not too different than a couple of other guitars. The action is a little higher than it used to be, I think, but it’s still super low the way I like it. It felt good. First impression, again, is that I am really happy.

I took my guitar home!

What do you think, beautiful, eh?

He did mention that a couple of the inlays on the neck popped out while he was removing the old frets. That happens. He fixed them. That’s good. I didn’t see anything and I couldn’t feel any difference during my quick inspection. All in all… happy. Can’t wait to get the band back together so I can play this babie at practice and wind up the volume and let it loose. Anyone know anyone who lives near Haverhill, MA who can sing and wants to join a dad-rock cover band?

Self Manipulation Through Guilt

I really want to play some guitar today, but I don’t think I am going to have the time. Still, I took today’s photo a day picture as a specific attempt to try and guilt myself into playing. I do this a lot and it almost never works. Oh well.

The New Les Paul

I’ve been spending so much time stressing over my old Les Paul that I thought that today’s photo a day picture should be my new Les Paul. This is the one Jen gave me for my 50th birthday and I love it that much more because of her.

I Need a Musical Weekend

Just looking ahead to this weekend. I need to make some music. I need to play some guitar. I need to play guitar through an amplifier and not just headphones. It is imperative. We’re getting to that point where not playing is affecting my mental state. Music must be made at volume. It is necessary.
