Reflecting on the sadly reduced state of my country. 

My college roommate and musical expert Greg is about to host another Night at the Record Store for his place in Austin.

Tune in! Starts in about ten minutes, and usually runs about a half hour. If you see something you like (and how could you not) then you can drop him a message and he ships.

Groover's Paradise Night at the Record Store

Harvesting my First Tomatoes!!

Sitting in my office waiting for all the updates to be applied to my computer that hasn't been turned on in a month. Had to install an application on my other computer to work from home - so of course I had to go into the office to install it.

Wow, we used to live right there (1700  block of Clarkson). Love that neighborhood, but that place wasn't there during our time. I still swing through when I'm back in town though, so I'll hit it next time. Stella's is a regular stop, Several of the bills on the wall there are mine.  Summertime in that hood is great, the old trees, the cool parks, the classic architecture (the ones that haven't been torn down yet) - good memories. 

Edit:  I think that place used to be a florist, and in the crawlspace of our house I found a bottle with the name of a pharmacy that was there ~ 80+ years ago.  I think I still  have that somewhere.

Having stepped on the scale this morning (oops), I realize it's time to put down the all-purpose and bread flours for a while.

Big bag of onions at Costco is now finding a new life as French Onion Soup.
With the homemade sourdough starter (made from scratch with ambient yeast) turned into a beautiful crunchy crust sourdough loaf.

Sorry to hear. My son is much the same, though we do still communicate.

Selling my kid's left-behind computer stuff.

He's refusing to communicate with us for some imagined slights that the Reddit idiots told him were something horrible. So it's been four years. And he's a Q supporter. So there's that.

Maybe I can make $5 off his old computer fans.

I have my computer set up on the never-used dog crate. I'm using it as an opportunity to crate train Jazzy to lay at my feet.

First day working from home.  Primary item is washing the dog.  If working with your dog by your side is conformist, then the "Man" got me (forced me to get a stoopit smart phone, I will use exactly 10 seconds a day to enter my soft token for VPN connection, hate it) and I have joined the herd cause Jake is about to join the workforce as my emotional assistant.

Keep going, doing this very thing 10 years ago changed my life to the core.  If there is an answer, this is it.

working from home

with the occasional disc ripping break (to hard drive, then to cloud)

i'm going digital and getting rid  of physical discs (gifting them to a couple of people)

trending toward minimalism in my personal life

same with clothing, household items, etc.

if i haven't used it in a year, it's gone/donated

We have had little snow here this winter. To some's chagrin.

It is pretty, though. When it comes down like cotton in Georgia.

Pass the wine.

I am feeling somewhat melancholy, though. In part, I know, because of the lack of snow.
