Last night, I awoke from my dreams to the sound of hissing. Of course, the pretty girl was right about to kiss me. Her eyes were so soft .Her lips were so...sorry... Hissing.
I stumbled over to Kitty's food dish and witnessed the...

I am for sure going to sneak a swim in today before Guitar Center.
It's supposed to reach the mid-90s here, which means it will be in the 80s around Noon.
What are you up to on this sunny Tuesday?

It is supposed to hit 90 F on this sunny Monday. I will try to visit the pool at some point during the day.
Hair of the Dawg will practice later in the day. I will bring some beer.

I am listening to my usual Sunday morning sacred music on KDFC FM.
I will probably go to a friend's house today to play some blues and watch NFL football.

I came home from Guitar Center a tiny bit grumpy. I had some really good students earlier, but finished up with a couple of young piano students who just wanted to goof around.
I bought a bottle of wine and put my pyramid hat...

Kitty often jumps in bed with me late at night. She demands a purr fest, and then jumps back down when the fest is over.
Last night, she spent most of the night with me. Her chosen spot is near my head. Achoo. I think I'm...

OK, so as soon I had that log nailed in, and some cement in the gaps, I drank some beer and went to bed. I had read on the internet that I could paint by morning.
I had tweaked my bad knee by that time, but had some Naprosin to...

I just stumbled on this photo from about ten years ago. It's the view from the car on the way from Austria into Germany. I was visiting a musician friend who grew up in the US but settled in Austria. The mountains in the photo are...

I had to watch Trump's reaction to the murder of Charlie Kirk, a young Conservative "influencer" who was shot to death while engaging in a discussion on a University campus.
At first, Trump's words resonated with me. Anybody who...

I was thinking of buying an electric chain saw, but I wound up sawing the log I used for my cabin by hand.
That little orange saw has been in my family for years. Oil it up and it works fine.
The log I used was harvested from...

When I got back from Montana, I noticed that my farm had yielded a lovely harvest. There was a plump and red Roma tomato on my tomato plant. I now have three more, almost ready to harvest.
I waxed artistic and took a photo of my...

I used to think that Trump was only tangentially involved in Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Some of the "recruits" worked at Mar-a-Lago, and Epstein frequented Mar-a-Lago, but that does not mean that Trump knew they were...

My pupils are dilated, but it's really not that bad. The light is not getting to me that much.
I may have a lens replaced in a few months, but for now I'm just going to score some new glasses.
Have you ever had your pupils...

We have a gig today at the East Contra Costa County Historical Society. They have a big "event" out there every September with folks in period (1900 or so) clothing, tractors on display, etc. More importantly, they cook up some...

She is six-years-old. She has big nerdy glasses that make her look like Mr.Peabody, of cartoon fame.
It was ostensibly a "voice" lesson, but I sat her down at the piano. I told her daddy that I used piano to teach "music theory,"...

By this point, I already had the log cut and the cement bought. Did you know that a bag of cement weights 80 lbs? Geez!
Anyway, I wedged in some chunks of drywall from my fallen ceiling (never trust your brother's hippy friends...

It seems I often wind up in line behind someone buying lottery tickets. I wait. I check prices of candy bars. I watch soccer on the TV screen.
By the time I got to West Yellowstone, on the Wyoming/Montana border, it was dark and...

I have eaten escargot in Paris. Here in CA, I enjoy Thai, Indian, and Chinese cuisine regularly.
But one of my favorite foods in the world is...Arby's! Specifically, Arby's classic roast beef sandwich.
That thinly sliced beef....

Have any of you (my fellow MyLotters) had that surgery where they replace your cloudy lens with a glass one?
I am considering it, but the thought scares the cr-p out of me.
This morning, I have an appointment with the eye...
