This one involves older people. But some of the stuff out there these days involves cute young AI kids speaking like adults. I enjoy them as well. I think I am lost.

My friend Dan stopped by the other day. He is a solid guitarist and an interesting dude. We jammed away on my Martin and Collings guitars,and then he was off to look after his mother, who has recently entered a care facility.

I am not in a position to know whether this is real. What do you think?
Is this really the President of the United States?
If it is, what do you think should be done?
If it is not, what do you think should be done?

It is Wednesday. Another cool Summer day in California. Today is my longest day at Guitar Center, but it is also a day when I get to enjoy some of my favorite students.
I am happy with how our gig went on Sunday. I hope we get...

We have had a cool Spring, and the trend is continuing into the early Summer. As of 8 AM, the temperature is still in the 50s F, though we will reach the 70s today.
I decided to "fancy up" my egg and bacon a bit this morning. I...

Yesterday's music gig went well. The audience was appreciative and the beer was flowing..My main issue was that my vocal mic was at too low a level, so my vocals were hard to hear. Jack, the band leader, tends to put me at a lower...

Stop by if you happen to be in the Lafayette CA area. I think it's from 1 to 4 PM at Some Brewery or Another (not its real name), next to the rib place we used to play.
We'll be performing as Hair of the Dawg,...

Is it true that pregnant people acquire odd food tastes?
This afternoon, all I wanted was a "salad" made from canned beets, canned olives, and blue cheese dressing.
I made said salad. It was good.
Now I am having cookie dough...

I ended my lessons yesterday with an hour-long session. My student was Kate, my guitar player who has been with me for three years or so. She's the Russian-American girl who rarely smiles. Her 16th birthday is approaching.
She...

Are you doing anything special for the 4th of July? I suppose not if you're from India or the Philippines or something.
This year's 4th may be a bit odd for some Americans, as we are dealing with the possibility of being a...

Hair of the Dawg has its first gig at a local brewery this forthcoming Sunday. Wish us luck/skill! I am not even sure what we'll be paid, perhaps $200 plus unlimited beer. Maybe we'll put a tip jar out as well..I dunno.
I just...

I am home from Guitar Center. I will head to bed soon. I watered my garden this morning, and added a bit of Miracle Gro Quick Start to the water. My sunflowers are looking happy, and my lone tomato plant has yielded me a...

I recently watched some 9/11 attack footage. It was pretty horrifying. I was not a Bush II supporter, but I thought he handled things as well as he could, at least in the short-term.
Now, people in our Country are being...

I had my second longest day of the week at Guitar Center yesterday. It began with two developmentally delayed students who frustrate me a bit. They are NOT the Autistic kids I have described who have unusual talent in music, and...

How often do you do your laundry? I try to launder my bed sheets at least once a year, and my socks and underwear even more often than that.
Today I decided to launder my sheets. I have a new favorite set of flannel sheets from...

I was in bed just now,,trying to catch my beauty rest. At 10 PM,a loud explosion rocked my apartment. It sounded like it was to the Northeast of me, and I felt the pressure wave. A car alarm went off as sometimes happens during...

Late Spring and early Summer are the times when the raccoons invade here.
If I leave my sliding glass balcony door open for Kitty, they will come five feet into my house and check on her food supply.
I wake up and chase them...

Its weird to see what actually happened on Donald Trump's 79th birthday. He envisioned a Soviet- or N. Korea-style military parade got something that was kind of boring. Or even funny.
Do you think the US is on its way to...

It's only 9 AM but it feels like it's about 80 degrees F out. We have had a cool Spring, but today is going to be a hot one.
I work at Guitar Center from 10 AM to 1 PM. I have a hunch I will be spending some time at the pool this...
