Been another week. Work. Bike. Play a little guitar. Standard in this time when half the world has decided that the pandemic’s over, and the other half is focusing on rising infections of the Delta Variant, especially because a good third of this country (and a much larger percentage of the localities surrounding mine, even […]

This week’s been, shall we say…slow. As I indicated earlier this week, I’ve been feeling a little off-kilter, in large part, I think, due to how slow things have been. Things got a little better as the week went on, I suppose, as the weather the last couple of days has been gorgeous, and I’ve […]

Felt yesterday that I’d been lagging a little behind the curve on most things. Even though I’m objectively ahead of the game at work, with all my projects in their proper places with time to spare, so it’s not necessary for me to participate in the current crazy sprint to get things lined up for […]

Little to report that I haven’t already mentioned; work has been, apart from the rise of a potential Reply-All-Pocalypse™ on Thursday afternoon, relatively quiet and somewhat productive. Got some riding in, including a wet 20 miles on Wednesday as I tried to stay ahead of a storm, and unlike all my peers on social media, […]

photo courtesy of my friend Wanda; focus on my cheater tablet stand rather than on me. So that’s Concarolinas in the books. Our shows went pretty well, considering we hadn’t played together in over a year. I thought we sounded good enough, and the folks who came to listen understood that we were shaking off […]

Going to do this today, because when I’d normally be prepping this post, I’ll be packing and heading south for my first live gigs in over a year. It’s still a little intimidating, even if after rehearsals that showed me that I haven’t forgotten nearly as much as I thought I had, to be getting […]

The weekend was…a weekend. Sure enough, it rained most of Saturday and Sunday, which the crops I see sprouting along Route 5 certainly needed, though it wrote off those days for the cycling I had so desired. But, I got the grocery shopping done, made a killer slow-cooker pot roast, dropped into Guitar Center to […]

Didn’t love this week. Got the stuff done, but I never felt particularly accomplished about anything. I just spent too much time on a conference call, behind the wheel of a car, or hunched over a keyboard. Such things are exhausting, and I really didn’t want to do them, but because I am a grown-ass […]

It’s been entirely too stressful for the last week or so, for all kinds of reasons I’m frankly too tired to get into and don’t need to share in this particular space. There’s just too much life right now, and it’s a bit of a struggle to address all the things that need to be […]

I honestly don’t know what to make of this week. Not surprisingly, given last weekend, I kind of started behind, and honestly never quite caught up. So much of it has to do with trying to keep up with everyone else’s needs, tracking the requirements of two completely unrelated job descriptions, attempting to snag a […]
