I taught music at Guitar Center and then came home and relaxed.
I dined on leftover Pad Thai Chicken from last night.
I am in total relaxation mode right now.
I may...

I am trying to get my ancient body in shape for softball season. I am not the star I once was, but I still enjoy playing.
Yesterday, I got a brief swim in. It was fun, but I had to get to guitar Center, so I kept it quick....

That is what I was reading about as I slithered into my Trump worm hole this morning.
According to the lawyers I saw interviewed, criminals are treated more leniently when she show remorse for what they have done.
Trump's...

I just finished up my breakfast of eggs and bacon. Pretty straightforward. I have only four students at Guitar Center today, so I may try to get some pool and cycling action in. It feels like it's destined for 90 F or do today....

Is this real? Or am I being suckered by Liberal Media?
They are reporting that Donald Trump has been found GUILTY of all charges in his first criminal trial.
I just got a flash from Newsweek reporting the same.
If this is...

For the past five days or so, I have had no hot water. It's been a bit of a pain. I had already taken my May shower, but I do like having the option.
The crusty crap did not come off of my dishes in the dishwasher. I had to boil...

He was a teenage boy I had not met before. He is the student of a fellow teacher who has taken a leave of absence. He came in with an electric guitar.
When we checked our guitars, his was out of tune. He tried to tune it up with...

I haven't gone down my Trump wormhole yet today. Closing arguments are done, and the jury is deliberating. Did the prosecution succeed in showing that the Catch and Kill campaign was for political purposes, not personal purposes?...

I got an interesting phone call today. I was at work, but a message was left.
It was a fella who had fired me from his Country Music band because I commanded too much audience attention with my antics .I can be like Eddie Murphy...

Over the past few months, gas prices have gone way up, and then way down again. A few months back they hit a peak of something like $5.69 at my local "discount station," and then dropped to $5.25 a couple of weeks ago.
I think...

It is cool out today, but the sun is shining. I doubt I will jump into the pool, but will take a book out there.with me. It will be the "essential" works of Edgar Allan Poe.
I scored this book at a "book exchange" on the streets...

Here's a photo I took the other day of the house I grew up in in Chicago. My bedroom looked out to the back yard, where I would watch sparrows, robins, and cardinals play. I put my desk at the window, as it is here, so I could...

Libertarians are an interesting group. They want government out of our lives as much as possible. But I believe they also stand for basic American values.
Trump went to Libertarian convention begging for votes, and wound up...

I have set my reasonable goal and my totally aggressive goal for this month on MyLot. I was gone for a few days, but actually managed to scratch out a post from Chicago.
I have a few more Chicago posts to do. Hopefully they will...

My new crops survived my trip to Chicago. Right now I have a handful of corn plants and sunflower plants coming up. No green beans yet.
At Kaiser, I went back to my naughty ways and planted the same in the new planters on the...

Ava is my piano student who didn't give me a hug after that one lesson (about two months ago) where she was almost in tears. I think she was feeling too much pressure from me and her daddy.
I got back on track, teaching her with...

I have only a few students at Guitar Center this afternoon.
I decided to do a minor project this morning.
I gathered up all of my beer cans, tossed them in the sink, and then started stomping them.
Stomping beer cans was a...

I got some errands done after Guitar Center yesterday. A quick trip to the grocery store netted me some frozen dinners, some wet food for Kitty, some overly sweet coffee beverage (I was in an experimental mood), and some eggs.

Do you believe this Lefty website? Do you think someone really dropped/unfurled a Trump flag at a Yankees game in the Bronx of NYC? Do you believe only one person was involved? Do you believe that some entrepreneur is making these...

One thing I like about the South Side of Chicago is Morrie's Deli. I DID go there this past weekend. Another thing I liked WAS Ribs 'n Bibs, the BBQ place. But that went under about 10 years ago.
Still another thing I like about...
