Wheee! Good steak costs about $30/lb here now. But I am a Safeway "member," and am able to get it for about $20/lb.
I realized at some point that I will probably not outlive my savings, so I am buying steak whenever I want it....

@Vandana7 will like this one, since she is obsessed with pee and poop.
I love the way the ladies (staffers, I guess; they will have stories to tell down the road) got the press out of the office so quickly after it happened.

How foggy is it? It's so foggy that I don't have to close my curtains. No sun in my eyes this morning.
Today is my longest day at Guitar Center. Wednesday.
But I have some of my favorite students, so I look forward.
I am going...

Yeppers, I am having leftover tempura for breakfast. But I think I'll follow it up with a bit of steak.
What did you have for breakfast today?
I don't teach until 2 PM today. Maybe I'll get a bit of work done on my book.
What...

Michael is the fella who moved to New Orleans recently. He is a "smitten" Grandpa who wants to be near his Grandkids.
He was the leader of Burl Jam, and wants to record a good version of Gordon Lightfoot's "It's Worth...

As I was waking up this morning, we had a series of small earthquakes. I felt two of them, about half an hour apart.
There was no preliminary jolt for either, as there sometimes is here. And neither was strong enough to get my...

OK, I know that many of us are beyond the age of dating, so I suppose I am asking about your opinions across your lifespan.
Across my life, I have liked "natural" looking women (those who wear little make-up and are at least...

I know I have joked about this many times, but it just happened to me again.
All I wanted was a small bottle of Scotch, so I could have some with my yogurt, and live to be 107.
The fella in front of me had a six-pack of beer,...

I understand there's a new movie out, perhaps funded by Amazon. It is supposedly about Melania Trump, Donald Trump's wife.
I have read that the movie is absolutely terrible, and that attendance during its first week in the...

As the sun rises further to the North each day, its tendency to blind me at my computer in the early mornings changes (my apartment faces East). Right now is at the stage where is almost beyond blinding me. Within a week, I will...

A few weeks ago I wrote on MyLot about how gas prices had dropped, or at least stayed the same, here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
As if in response to my post, gas prices started climbing here, at first by a dime here and a...

Grr.
My cell phone and my land line phone both died at the same time.
My tax preparer has retired.
Donald Trump is still "President."
My lower back hurts.
I am a grumpy Horse right now.
Do not stand behind me.
If you do,...

My students are taught. Kitty has mackerel in her bowl. I have no more obligations.
Have you had moments like this?
I will sleep now. I have only six students tomorrow.
My "ode to Donald Trump" has passed 2,000 views. I will...

Yeppers, I am eating tempura from last night for breakfast this morning.
Yesterday was a long day at Guitar Center, so I treated myself last night.
I ordered "extra" dipping sauce.
Do you ever have "leftovers" for breakfast?

Yesterday's music practice was fun.
Today it's back to Guitar Center.
I have no idea what the level of chaos will be there, but I will do the best I can.
How is your Tuesday shaping up?

I had the day off yesterday, so I practiced guitar, did some editing on my book, and...finished up a pair of guitar sound hole coasters.
Those of you who have known me for awhile will remember that I like to make coasters out of...

I have seen gas prices higher, but they are rising now. Are they changing where you live?
I can still make it to and from my band mate's house for about $15, but it's a bit of a pain.
I think we have another practice tomorrow,...

I am hearing that another civilian was shot and killed at close range by Federal Agents in Minneapolis. This time a Border Patrol agent may have been the assailant.
How could these agencies/"officers" not have learned from the...

My co-workers and I have kind of come to accept how things are at Guitar Center. No schedules printed out. Actual students showing up that were not on our emailed schedules. No guitar picks for students who forget to bring one. No...

I don't buy a lot of "stuff," so I don't follow prices that closely. The other day, I heard President Donald Trump say the cost of everything was down, but I had not noticed a downward trend in prices of the things I do buy.
