Yes, it’s Tuesday. I was sick yesterday. I didn’t go to work, I slept, and watched movies on the couch. One of those movies featured Daniel Radcliffe as a farting corpse being used as a jet ski. It wasn’t bad.

As for the weekend, we had a nice dinner out for the wife’s birthday. I rehearsed with the local group, and we wrote another song. I think it’ll be pretty okay. I sold my old Ibanez bass to somebody who is going to really enjoy making music with it, which made me feel good, and I got my full asking price, which takes a nice chunk out of the money I just spent on the new Telecaster, completing the two-for-one trade, bringing the musical instrument population down by one. I took the cat to the vet for a follow-up visit. He’s doing well, and healing up nicely.

Don’t really have large plans for the coming week. Mostly get rested up and shake this leftover bug that I’m still kind of dealing with. My contractor lead is sick today; some team we are. We still get our work done.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I’m going to close with a quick call to action: both my senators are on record as opposing the DeVos nomination for Secretary of Education, so I want to say thank you to them (and I did, via nice quick emails). If you’re in certain other parts of the country where there a couple of wavering Republican Senators who might vote “no” on DeVos, who is vastly unqualified (and I say this as somebody with a degree in education, who knows what he’s talking about) and is poised to do serious harm to America’s educational system, and thus, our children, you’ve got a couple of hours left to get on the phone or fax or whatever to try and swing them toward “no” – I point specifically to you folks in PA and NC; there’s likely some movement there. The Vote’s scheduled for noon – give ’em a shout!
