After work, I headed out to the pool. It was only about 75 F out, but the water was nice and warm. I got a few laps in, as well as a few football tosses with a family that was out there. Now I will relax and "sink into my dreams."...

I am befuddled by what happened in Minnesota. Why would someone dress up as a police officer and shoot Democratic Lawmakers? If this is just another mentally ill person, how did they gain access to police gear and a vehicle that...

When a bunch of men get together, there is sometimes a bit of vulgarity added to the conversation, just for fun.
When women are around (for example, my band mates' wives, female coworkers), I tend to be a bit more civilized....

Often, when I get home from Guitar Center, I want to be alone with Kitty. I can work on my book, do some MyLotting, and have another sip of Scotch.
But yesterday evening, I had a couple of hot babes over, Tereese and Edith....

I saw on FOX this morning that California is "on fire." I think Trump's 27-year-old Press Secretary said it. So I thought I'd do my own reporting from the field and share my findings here.
I drove from my house to Safeway for...

The other day, my "supervisor" (actually just a young musician bro that I enjoy hanging out with between lessons) asked me if I would come in early today (Wednesday) and teach a "group beginner guitar lesson." He told me that I...

I'll get my permanent crowns put in today. I think I may have a couple of cabidees filled as well. Then it's off to music practice later in the day.
It was too cool for the pool yesterday, so I called a few friends on the phone...

I got this email from California's Governor this morning. But I find it a bit hard to believe. Is this just more Leftie rhetoric?
Wouldn't such an act just inflame tensions, as demonstrations against illegal deportations take to...

One of the things I always pick up when I visit Trader Joe's in their Palak Paneer. It is basically spicy creamed spinach with cheese in it. It is under $4 per serving, even now, and it quite tasty. It is in the "frozen Indian...

I had one of those days today when I was just out if synch. Have you ever had one of those? I left my $4,000 Collings guitar in the back of my truck last night and today. Can you guess what happened? Right. Absolutely nothing. The...

I can tell it's going to be a warm one today. It is approaching 9:30 AM and it feels like it's about 70 F out. I will check to see how close I was in my guess.
I am off to Guitar Center to teach six students. After that, I will...

Think this through with me. Let me know your mind. I was dead right and a certain MyLotter was dead wrong. Trump and Musk are now feuding over social media, with one calling up Epstein's name, and the other saying he could deport...

Yes, I "went to town" yesterday morning at Safeway. I bought an onion, some fresh cheese, a pepper, and even an avocado. I already had eggs from Trader Joe's.
Can you guess what I had for breakfast? Actually I don't know exactly...

Something did not sound right. Kitty was making a "go away" sound. I thought she didn't want a date with Filipino Love Song Kitty tonight. But she likes Filipino Love Song Kitty.
Her objection was too severe.
I turned on my...

I was a child in the 1960s and 1970s. We (especially the boys) had words for something that was "totally cool." If a particularly good episode of "Lost in Space" had occurred the night before, we might say, " That was cool!" But...

American politics are odd right now. It was inevitable that Trump and Musk would eventually hit a "crossroads." It appears to be happening now. Musk isn't calling the shots in the White House any more, and (assuming it's not all...

I can feel it on my feet. It's going to be a warm one here today. I may visit the pool before I head off to Guitar Center. It is about 69 F right now, as 10 AM approaches. There is no wind at all, and it feels more humid than I am...

I had a pretty relaxing weekend. It was not hot here, but warm enough for me to get some swimming in. I have to nurse this ancient body back into shape.
Today, I have about ten students, including a couple of developmentally...

I reckon it's a good time not to be climbing Mt. Etna in Italy. The thing erupted today, spreading spoke and ash into the sky. The plum is high enough now that air travel will probably be disrupted.
I believe this is the tallest...
