H/T to friend Amber for this one

Apart from the schizophrenic southern weather, this weekend wasn’t bad.

Not saying it was particularly atypical; after all, our world is one where there isn’t a hell of a lot of novelty right now. I watched a couple of movies, finished a book and started another, made a huge pot of vegetarian chili that was delicious Sunday night and will provide a bit more than a week’s worth of lunches for me and any other interested parties in the house.

Of course, the weather, as mentioned, has been *weird*. After some gorgeous 70° days, I woke on Sunday to a cold rain. This sucks, because lawn guys (scheduled for today; we’ll see). I ventured out into it briefly to hit the grocery store, which was crazy, filled with everyone stocking up for their Super Bowl parties they shouldn’t be having. Upon leaving the store half-an-hour later, it was snowing, and the temperature had dropped ten degrees.

Of course, by afternoon, it was bright and sunny and in the mid-fifties.

Welcome to the mid-Atlantic in the 21st century, I suppose. Climate is messed up.

Still sorting out what to expect in the week ahead; transition stuff at work as we all figure out what our new jobs are supposed to be, writing some more music for February Album Writing Month (I’m at five songs down, two sets of lyrics to be set to music, and a couple of extra ideas banked), and watching Washington starting tomorrow to see what kind of strange theatrical farce the 2nd Impeachment trial of 45 will turn out to be…

Oh, and more rain scheduled to start Tuesday. I really hope the lawn guys are confident enough to tackle the project today, or we’re going to have to wait at least another week, which will probably include tornadoes or something, because that’s the world we live in.

Oh, and thanks to all the nice people who made Friday such a successful day on Bandcamp for me. It’s a nice feeling when people decide the noises I make into microphones are worth trading for shiny gold rocks. I less-than-three you all.
