I got some work done on my book this morning!

The Horse @TheHorse (224896) • Walnut Creek, California 28 Mar

I miss @Just4Him. She used to hound me to get work done on my developmental psychology book. This morning, I was self-motivated, and edited some chapters I had written over time. They were compelling, but I was able to add some...

Greg You better watch that self-motivation. Many people say it causes blindness.

The Horse @TheHorse (224896) • Walnut Creek, California 29 Mar

We have a "teachers meeting" at Guitar Center this morning. I have to be there at 9 AM, instead of my usual 10 AM on Saturdays. Of course, we are paid for attending, so I will make an extra $20 this morning. I don't know if I'll...

It is raining out! How is the weather where you live?

The Horse @TheHorse (224896) • Walnut Creek, California 30 Mar

Usually, I can hear it when it rains. It's the sound of water moving through the gutters on my building. Last night, I did not hear anything. That means it must have been a really light rain. This morning, when I looked out my...

Yesterday, I practiced with Durt Cheap, the band I am thinking of quitting. Our "lead singer" is close to deaf, and barks out lyrics in a way that is painful to listen to. Fortunately Tim and I get to do many of the songs we...

Greg Does Burl Jam know you're cheating with Durt and Dawg? Did you ever consider forming a band called Durt & Dawg? It sounds like a hit machine. Poor @Vandana7----The vid is at 982 views. It won't take long to get to 1000.

Rain, Zoomies and 'Coons.

The Horse @TheHorse (224896) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Apr

It's been an odd night of sleep. Kitty has the Zoomies at 5 AM. The 'Coons visited for the first time this Spring. It's raining out. Kitty is asking if she can sleep on my stomach. I have said yes, but she is still hesitant. In...

The Horse @TheHorse (224896) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Apr

Today is the day I have to deal with several developmentally delayed students who do NOT have that peculiar aptitude for music that seems to come with Autism. I have to adjust my expectations and go with a slow learning curve....

One hundred and ten in the water-bag

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349651) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Mar

We have had a run of really hot weather again and it’s set to continue for the week. It brought to mind another saying which I’d like to assume was best known in Australia. But we all know what happens when we assume stuff so I’ll...

kay lar @jaylar (1134) • Kingston, Jamaica 13 Mar

I always wondered how Black or Hispanics could vote for Trump. He is a blatant racist, he has no respect for Hispanics. Sure he's the Messiah for the WASPs.. so them voting for him is in their interest, but how can a non-white...

When is a geographic boundary not a boundary?

Mark-Paul @MarkPaul (245) 13 Mar

The Horse @TheHorse (224896) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Mar

Heartbreak in Dolly World

Four Walls @FourWalls (72970) • United States 3 Mar
