As you know, I have worked had for decades in college teaching and social services.
By living frugally, and only owning five "elite" (over $1,000) guitars, I have managed to save many thousands of dollars.
Recently, I decided...

I am off to DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) right now.
I need a couple of forms to sell my 2008 Nissan Xterra.
I have no idea what it will be like.
I hope I can "get 'er done."
Wish me luck.

It is Wednesday. I work at Guitar Center until 8:30 PM this evening.
Fortunately, I have some of my favorite students today.
How is your day shaping up?
I am cooking up a hard boiled egg for breakfast.

There IS a piece of loose something in my knee.

Of course I am old and have arthritis in my knee, but she said this...

Yesterday morning, as I was waking up, I heard a loud boom to the Northeast of me.
Gun shots? No. A bomb strike? No.
It sounded like a power transformer blowing up.
Soon thereafter, I started receiving BOT calls from my energy...

I have kept up with the adoptive mom of a child I worked with in Oakland many years ago.
The biological mom was nice, but had some issues that made it difficult for her to raise the child.
The child was adopted by a "middle...

I thought at first that it was Kitty jumping on the bed. But Kitty does not weigh 500 lbs.
The place shook for only about two seconds, but my front door, which was closed, but not properly latched, swung wildly open with a bang....

I read somewhere, it may even have been from a MyLotter, that cooked rice goes bad quickly.
When I order Tom Kha Gai or Red Curry Chicken from my Thai place, I often keep the leftover rice in the fridge for future use.

One of the things I "have" to do for my lessons at Guitar Center is learn songs I might not otherwise listen to. I have learned Metallica songs, Taylor Swift songs, and even video game songs, so I could teach them to my...

I have an MRI on my left knee scheduled for this afternoon. It's a bit odd that I hope they find something. If they don't, then it can't be fixed.
I gonna hit the grocery store now and settle in for some MyLotting (and maybe...

The sun is kinda sorta trying to poke through, but it's basically dreary outside today. It's 52 out now, and only expected to reach 57. I see dry pavement, so it did not rain last night.
I may watch the 49ers game with a musician...

I mostly grazed yesterday morning. I grazed on another version of my default yummy salad. This time I had beets, hearts of palm, canned tuna, and a hard boiled egg, all smothered in Marie's blue cheese dressing. It was delicious....

We had a couple of days without rain, but the wet pavement tells me it returned last night.
It looks like it could rain some more, but the wind is calm. We'll see what happens.
I had some lox and a hard boiled egg for breakfast...

I miss @Just4Him. We used to banter a bit about the 49ers and Packers. She is from Green Bay and is a Packers fan.
She also enjoyed writing, and would use her Horse Prod to keep me working on my developmental psychology...
