and a one and a two and a one two three four!!! (now should that be down down up down our down up up down )

I'm thinkin' more Spike Jones and less Lawrence Welk (remember, I'm old).

Recovering from PT and hoping that this session will end up going towards reducing my pain.

Hoping you feel better soon Amazee

Had to look those up I must confess, Spike Jones seems pretty Zany, impressive musicianship and good comic timing. Like the surf guitar of Lawrence, I've heard some of his stuff before but didn't know the name.

Django was 30's to 50's so a similar era to those guys I guess, I'm always amazed how he got those sounds from his guitar with damaged fingers on his chord shaping hand, gave him a unique style and sound I think. I have no excuses for poor fingering of Jazz chords!

Apologies if you knew about Django already. I assume he's fairly well known in Jazz circles.

I did. And he's a GREAT CHOICE! I have a fondness for the old swingers, I guess because I'm ... oh ... right ... I said why already. Forgetfulness, you know.

Less Lawrence Welk is generally good advice.

Starting a new job.

Congratulations!

Getting ready for the "Got-Junk" gang tomorrow and then the local Orthodox Church is having a Greek festival today (Armenians tomorrow).

Thanks, Guys!

Recovering from physical therapy.

Taking the cat for his yearly checkup-- we're nearly done and he can't wait to get back home.

So the "Got-Junk" guys called at 7:30 to tell us they were coming at 8:00. Well, I had them scheduled for 9:00 so had to do a buncha "jump-down-spin-around" to get ready. But we was ready and all the removal went smoothly enough.

Typical "Boomers", when we moved into the old homestead after the remodeling, we had kept all kinds of stuff under the abiding "Boomer" theory that "we'll find a use for this some day". The remodeling company aided us in that delusion by leaving lots of unused stuff around to suppliment the older stuff. So, finally, we came to the admission that we had no use for all that kay-rapp and got it gone. Guess that's called maturity.

So, my son's on the phone so a great September day ever'body and be well.

I just finished a campaign with my D&D group called Strange Aeons, looking forwards to just taking a week of from D&D

Need to go shopping for the Church food pantry this afternoon, then off to the gym. Autumn is on the horizen.

I love autumn if only for apple cider donuts.

Since today in my particular part of the world is almost over, tomorrow I will be working on my writing for my stories here .

Went to the gym at 4am before work today. Might have overdone it

Thanks, had to force myself not to play tag with my snooze alarm when I got up at 4

Never played tag with my snooze alarm. Since I retired, if the fool thing ever does go off, I'll play a little "Die, Monster, Die!!"

Doing my PT exercises and hoping my herniated disc FINALLY heals up.

good luck

Thanks I am gonna need it. I so want to recover from this and just move on.

Ever have a day where you feel bored and can't decide what you want to do

Been replaying Metroid Prime games recently

After gym, went over to the hospital to do a little "reconnaissance". See, I have to take "treadmill stress test" next week at 8:00am after a 30 minute drive, and this hospital is an absolute rat maze. So I needed to map out the route from the parking lot to the stress lab so I don't lose my appointment by getting lost somewhere between proctology and the gift shop ...

sigh....

Relaxing after work before I go to bed for the night.

Poking my head back into the old HP forums -- it's been a minute! Good to see so many familiar faces

going to work, hope things are calmer there today with renovations. Not feeling like eating right now...

Good to see you back, Nathan!

Going to go to bed because I have PT then work tomorrow.

washing my bedding

I'm actually managing to get some writing done at home for once

Love that feeling of getting creative

Glad to hear you are feeling inspired .

Continuing to keep up with my PT exercises.

Working on some stories (HousepetZ, The Centurion, and a western I'm calling, for now, TOMBSTONE NIGHTMARE).
