Practical Report

Posted on 30 May 2008

I neglected to mention yesterday that, it being Thursday, there was Collision rehearsal.  I did not mention it because actually I forgot–although whether I forgot that it was Thursday or whether I forgot that Thursday was our regular rehearsal slot I cannot say with certainty.  In any case, I was frantically trying to get some [...]

Promptly

Posted on 29 May 2008

My youngest is attending a prom tomorrow night.  I am not certain I can call it his prom, as although it is at his school he is technically too young.  His girlfriend, though, is the right age and grade, so I suppose technically he is taking her to her prom.
It has occurred to me that [...]

That’s Gratitude

Posted on 28 May 2008

We had been warned that a particular individual was not very, shall we say, socially adept.  It was still a bit disturbing.
You are aware that a dear friend was in an accident a couple weeks back.  He does not drive; he was being driven home from work at the time.  The vehicle was totalled and [...]

How to Get to Carnegie Hall

Posted on 27 May 2008

I did manage to squeeze in a bit of practice here and there over the last few days.
For one thing, when I am on long lonely drives I have a CD with the instrumental parts for all the Collision songs–actually, I have several of these, with the songs in different orders–so I can practice my [...]

The Long Way ‘Round

Posted on 26 May 2008

I am angry at someone.  I have not yet determined who.  No, it probably is not you, so you can relax.
I am angry because I was sent on a fool’s errand simply because someone was too inconsiderate to answer a phone message to let me know it was not necessary.  I am angry because this [...]

A New Week Already

Posted on 25 May 2008

It seems like just last night that I was finishing the work for the week, and here I am back again this afternoon to start afresh.
That would be because it was just last night; complications and obligations have been preventing me from having any of that spare time needed to do the other projects which [...]

My Least Favorite Condiment

Posted on 24 May 2008

Since I posted a report last night and then went to bed, the only thing I can report here today is that I’ve managed to catch up most of the regular work–the e-mail, the other web sites that demand my partial attention.
All that remains, really, is the forum here.

Roamin’s

Posted on 23 May 2008

I am not even entirely certain myself what happened to yesterday.  It was one thing after another, and then when I finally returned from the last thing, picking up a son who wanted to come home for a few days, I looked at a clock which made it nearly one thirty, and I gave up [...]

Place a Name Here

Posted on 21 May 2008

I was unusually tired today, with the result that I was unusually slow in getting through anything I had to do.  I had to do a few errands, make a few phone calls, and really nothing significant to report, but it all derailed me quite a bit.
For those who have been concerned about our circumstances, [...]

No Frills

Posted on 20 May 2008

I managed to finish the set work yesterday before making the trip to take my mother-in-law shopping.  It was, however, rather late by the time I got home and got some dinner, and I accomplished nothing more.  This, though, is typical for the early part of the week, when I have the heavier burden of [...]
