We switched our practice days from Monday to Tuesday.
This morning I received an email from our Fearless Leader.

My step-mom would cook us up a mean (yummy) leg of lamb back in the day. We had it maybe once every few months. We would have it with mint sauce (not mint jelly) on the side, along with with riced potatoes and gravy. Man was that...

I got together with my friend Ken last night. He's a really good finger style guitar player.
We did a long experimental jam and actually recorded it.
We've both been experimenting with mixing Irish and Hindi intervals into our...

The sun is trying to poke through now (Noon). But it's been a dreary and cool morning. We won't break 70 F today.
Still, I got my dishes in, practiced some guitar, and will vacuum before I run a brief errand. Wheee!
How is your...

I slapped on my shorts and flip flops this morning to run an errand.
When I got outside (it was about 8:30 AM) I realized I had slightly under-dressed. It was downright chilly out!
I checked the temperature on my truck's...

In the interest of fair and balanced journalism, I am reporting that gas prices are down here in Northern California.
Only three weeks ago, the price of Regular was $6.09/gallon at my discount station. Then it dropped to...

I got my dishes done this morning, and am now doing my laundry. I am not sure what turned me into a "clean freak" today. Maybe I just wanted to "get stuff done."
It's 69 F out and sunny right now (2 PM). It would be a good day...

As is often the case on Sundays, I am listening to classical music and checking in on NFL scores.
I think I'm going to head to Trader Joe's and score some Lamb Vindaloo and some Indian Spinach.
It is sunny but chilly today,...

I feel old. It seems like only yesterday we were building stacky towers together and sending each other home with "math problems" to do.
He is more interested in cars and auto mechanics than college or girls right now.

When I am driving, or chilling at home, I generally listen to KDFC (FM), our classical music station. It is a public radio station, funded by government grants and by listener donations.
Sometimes I listen to KCBS (AM), our local...

By "hot," I mean "spicy," as in some Thai, Mexican and Indian foods.
I do, but I've been sticking to milder foods recently as I figure out my health issues.
But dang, I am "Jonesing" for some Tom Kha Gai tonight. I have not...

As you know, I have been a tad under the weather recently.
Today was a very low key day. I watched some football highlights and did a bit of work on my book.
I also found a couple of guitar sound hole coaster pairs that are...

Do you ever go through a time where you're not really motivated?
I am in such a time right now.

I may join Kitty on a late morning nap right...

So I am sitting at my desk, doing nothing of any importance, when I hear a fairly large metal beam hit the ground.
It makes two sounds, both of which are distinct musical notes that I can sing.
I go to my guitar, which is lying...

We have coyotes in the foothills of Mt. Diablo. Over the years they have eaten some of our barn kitties, our chickens, and even Mr.and Mrs. Duck.
Recently I learned that some coyotes have been roaming the flat lands of our...
