  • Monday morning

    I'm being slow this morning because Fran had to leave town, so there's no noon lesson today. I just got an album done and got all the feature tracks lined up for the week. There's a lot this week.



    I haven't posted about anything since Wednesday. I [...]

  • Here's humidity

    It's humid in here. The air conditioner has to run pretty much full-time to keep the upstairs comfortable, and I've had it turned up to less comfortable levels since I haven't been here all the time.

    Today was a day. Not a lot to mention. I went downtown this' [...]

  • Hot weekend

    So it got hot this week. Summer really arrived, right on time. I've tried not to let it be too overwhelming, though. I'll write about it while the OS on my phone updates.

    The AC repairman finally showed up late Thursday evening. He found a bad part, but didn't' [...]

  • Waiting

    We broke down and went to AC mode yesterday. That's not bad at all, though. I think this is the latest into the year we've made it. Thank the weird weather, I guess. Unfortunately the first floor unit isn't blowing. We had it on back at the whiskey tasting, though, [...]

  • Websites

    Globat.com annoyed me with their recent conversion to a "new system". The biggest problem was blocking off-site databases and the loss of an on-site databases because I didn't migrate my sites properly. Indeed I attempted to use their migration system and found it faulty. So now I'm migrating everything hosted [...]

    While browsing where an ebay sale is going, I found a small bug in google maps. I've seen the maps not quite line up with the satellite images before, but this is a bit extreme. Apparently my buyer lives underwater.' [...]

  • Gray monday

    It's another rainy, gray Monday morning. It makes it hard to get overly motivated. I've got some things I can do here, today, at least. Good for the garden, however. I'm glad I got the lawn mowed on Friday.

    Thursday night I was able to practice late. It was' [...]

  • Oh hi

    It's been a bit since I've written anything in here. Monday, in fact.

    Not much has been going on since then. My last post concluded that I was calling Goodwill to come get the green couch. Well, Goodwill has ended their pickup service. A few more phone calls got [...]

    Nothing like waking up at noon. I haven't really been in bed all night. I reluctantly got up at 3:30 to go work this morning, my last full 5-hour morning, and the last with Stan because he's going on vacation to Florida next week. I immediately went back to bed' [...]

    There's so many things I don't understand about this clip. First of all, I love the coat and want one like it. After that, though, what kind of weird instrument is that guy blowing into. What kind of dance is that guy doing during the chorus, and what's with the' [...]

    I just did a rapid-fire mowing of the back yard, trying to finish before the next big round of rain comes through.

    This morning I was almost late. I forgot to turn on the alarm. It was set, just not on. I woke up at 3:45, the time I [...]

    It's very gray and unpleasant outside. It's kind of been that way almost all weekend.

    Friday was nice. I had a productive if difficult to initiate lunch meeting with Ron, except instead of just Ron there were 4 other people there. I had thai chicken pizza. Can't say that's [...]

    It's Wednesday, normally my busiest day, but I didn't teach any today. People were gone, had other things, cancelled, whatever, so with my throat still feeling a little scratchy, I cancelled the last remaining couple of lessons and came home. I got a lot of practicing done today.

    Yesterday was a very full day, as opposed to Friday which was a little slow. We were full of mainstream entertainment. Chad and Robyn picked us up a little before noon and took us downtown. They had scored some excellent seats for the Cardinals-Brewers game. We were on the 11th [...]

    I was hoping that while we were gone we would miss the cotton snow generated by our gigantic cottonwood tree this year. Not to be, it seems like we're right in the thick of it. All the lawns around our house are edged by white fluffiness, and blocks away from' [...]

    I just tackled the back yard with it's more-than-two-weeks of growth. When we were leaving things weren't growing well. Apparently it rained a lot while we were gone. Not fun, really.

    We just got home from the rainiest vacation I've ever had and it's now raining here this morning. We had lots of rain, but nothing this hard. From the sound of it, there might be hail.

    I'm up early, as expected. I planned on going to the early morning [...]
