I have the day off from both the Flaky Daycare and Guitar Center today. I have been working on some legal stuff this morning, and will hit the pool before heading off to play music this afternoon. We are supposed to have a gig at a local BBQ on Saturday July 8, but I am waiting for a confirming phone call from the new manager. We'll see what happens. Today is July 3, and tomorrow is July 4, Independence Day in the US. Many businesses will be closed tomorrow, but Guitar Center will not be. I'll be teaching music tomorrow. How is your Monday shaping up?

Are you working at Guitar Center on the Independence Day? I thought it was closed.

Each business gets to decide, I reckon. Guitar Center will be open today.

@LadyDuck Interesting. I'm not sure how it works here. I assume it's up to the store.

We spent some extra time on some of the snags in our tunes. I think we were able to iron them out.

Bummer that you have to work today. Unusual that they're open. Try and have a good 4th. Good luck on the 8th!

I actually look forward to teaching some guitar lessons today. Doing so brings me pleasure and gives my tired old self a sense of meaning.

As long as I don't have to sing "I'm Proud to be an American." Sheesh.

That's a really beautiful tree in that photo. I hope the gig comes off. It's a shame you have to work on Independence Day.

I don't mind working on Independence Day. The alternative would be staying at home and hoping the fireworks do not scare Kitty.

@TheHorse But now Kitty won't have you to reassure her.
