Did the long dog walk, and Posh is wearing her backpack again. This is good because it’s more of a workout for her, and she doesn’t pull so much. Home and finally finished the Melissa Mathes mix. It’s called “The Law of Attraction” (posted under mp3s). She came by to get a cd and we [...]

Thought about going to church, but I sort of chickened out. I’m trying to hook up Callahan with Helen and Jay for a potential nanny gig, but I have to remove myself from this middle-man stuff.  Went for a walk with Mary and we went to Marche’ for lunch, which was good. Had 2 glasses [...]

Walked early and my mom suggested we go over to the Clayton house and do some yard work. So we all went over there and mainly worked on the magnolia tree in the front yard. We took out the “volunteer” trees that had sprung up and sort of pushed the leaves back. It was hot-ish [...]

Kind of hungover so I didn’t walk, but no matter what time I go to bed, I always wake up at 7:15. So I have to go to bed early. Finally listened to the Tim O’Brien record Mary Beth Sartain gave me, and damn it’s good. “Farewell Angelina” may be one of the best vocal [...]

Took Posh to my mom’s and went to meet Melissa and I told her she was starting to hurt my feelings the way she is late all the time. She apologized and said “how can I make it up to you?” and so she took me to lunch at Marche’ after the rehearsal. It was [...]

Went to Corner Music to see if they had any guitar pedal compressors, but they were out of Keeley’s, so I went to Rock Block and found one there (traded one Memory Man, one RMC comp. and one Super Overdrive) My new keyboard arrived, and I recorded it immediately on a song for Melissa. It [...]

Rainy and so cold. The dogs were bothering each other in the night, so not the best sleep. I let Posh out about 3 and she wouldn’t come back in so I had to go out there in the rain in my boxers and drag her by the ears. She really pissed me off. Then [...]

Woke up at 6:30 and took B&H to the airport. Went to Starbucks with my gran, and she got an Earl Grey and I got a V.S.L. ($5.85) But now that I got my PSP last night, and had to buy some games, memory cards, etc., I have to limit the Starbucks visits, lest I [...]
