I harvested more snow peas from my "balcony garden" on this sunny Friday and put about ten in my spectacular (frozen) chicken and mashed potatoes dinner this evening.
I have harvested about 20 snow peas so far this Spring, and...

I get an employee discount at Guitar Center. Yesterday, after I taught my lessons, I investigated some guitar picks and found some I really like. Both are by Dunlop, and both have "bumps," for lack of a better word, on the flat...

I heard from some Lefty that Trump's donations increased radically after he announced that he would be indicted on Tuesday.
I'll have to do some research to see if there's any truth to this. Could Trump have used his impending...

I actually had Indian food tonight, but last night I had the teriyaki chicken with rice shown in the photo. Both are from Trader Joe's, and both are really good, as in almost restaurant quality.
My top secret secret for making...

I worked for only an hour or so at my flaky friend's day care this morning, but on my way there, I made a Very Clever Plan that would save me some cold hard cash today.
I spied a gas station on Monument Boulevard that had Regular...

I thought my flaky friend who runs the day care was ghosting me. I hadn't heard from her in several days, and her voice mail was full. She owed me $800. Yes, @Vandana7, I'm innocent about some things. I trust people too much. Oh...

I made it home from Guitar Center tonight without a hitch. I deposited some work money on the way home and also picked up some Ch*ardonnay wine to celebrate making it through "hump day."
I decided to get some work done on one of...

My friend's day care was shut down for a couple of weeks due to medical appointments, trying to get her Special Needs son into an appropriate school, and power outages.
I had not seen Harper and my other littlie friends for half...

When I went to Guitar Center yesterday afternoon, it was partly cloudy out and temps were in the upper teens C (perhaps 65 F).
I almost blew off bringing my winter coat, as I only had to work until 7 PM.
When I went outside...

The price for Regular gas peaked at $4.99 a month or so ago at my "discount" station. I expected it to go higher, but it dropped to $4.89 the next week. When it got to $4.79, I scored about ten gallons, and have enjoyed not having...

This is going to be a good day. If I don't get killed by a bad driver or something.
I moved some money around this morning and talked to two bank representatives at two different financial institutions...and I mean human beings,...

I bought some pasta at Trader Joe's the other day. It is called Spinach Tortellini, and the cost was $2.00. It is described (on the package) as "tortellini stuffed with spinach and ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheese."

I know that my Burl Jam friends are hitting are hitting a "zone." We have spent over four hours in Mike's garage for our last two jam sessions. Today, we did a totally new tune at my suggestion: Albatross, by Fleetood Mac. Of...

Bummer in the summer. I have no internet, no phone service and no hard alcohol.
Guess I'm going to have to tough it out for awhile with my cell phone.
I'm off to play music with my friends for a spell. Hopefully I'll have...

OK, I almost used a question mark on my title. I know not to count my chickens before they hatch. But a lot of Americans will certainly have their panties in a wad if former "president" Donald Trump is not indicted this week. If...

As you know, I enjoy making coasters out of guitar sound holes. Each pair takes several weeks to make, but most of that time is drying time for stain and then polyurethane. I sometimes sell the coasters for $25/pair, but mostly I...

Yes, it's raining again in the San Francisco Bay Area. I could hear it all night, and its just a drizzle now, but the clouds are telling me there's more in store.
I finally picked up some bacon yesterday at Trader Joe's. All of...

I just awoke from a barrage of odd dreams. I had my midnight snack (Brie on Matzos and water with cranberry juice) and decided to let my Jungian shadow do a post.
Like most Americans, I am glad that Donald Trump with probably...

Poor Kitty. I am sitting here laughing at her in my head, and she doesn't even know it.
After a passionate petting session, as I was sitting at my desk, she decided to "take over" said desk, like a Purring Putin.
She jumped up...

I tricked you a little bit, didn't I? You thought I'd posted my monthly MyLot Goal discussion early. Even if just for a second. Buwaahaahaa! When I first signed up for MyLot, payout was $10, so I set my non-arbitrary daily MyLot...
