Hey there, My Peeps…
I was out of the office with back pain again last week on
Thursday and Friday, so I could not post a blog entry since I left my Mac
laptop locked up in my office cube. My
apologies. Nobody missed it more than I did.
From laying down so much these past few days, my left ear got another
infection. I had ear trouble in that ear
for several years and now I have it back.
Good grief! Ugh!
Today’s music trivia game is a pop rock British band who
formed in the mid 70s and came to prominence in the UK during the start of the
New Wave period and continued through the 80s and 90s. They were known in the
UK for their hit songs, “Cool for Cats”, “Up the Junction”, and “Another Nail
in My Heart” and also in the US with their hit songs, “Tempted”, “Black Coffee
in Bed” and “Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)”.
Can you name this UK pop rock, post-punk band?
Tim B has been kicking some butt lately with his correct
responses to our music trivia contests.
Maybe my clues are way too easy and I may need to give you all a little
less obvious clues? Let’s hear your
thoughts!
I have already had my tax returns accomplished and I am glad
I am getting some serious cash back.
I’ll be able to pay off my attorney fees, court and associated fees and
make a substantial dent in the Visa card bill that has been hanging over my
head for the past few years. When I was really broke I had to use my credit
card in lieu of cash, which built up quite a healthy balance and quite swiftly
too. I’ll be glad to get out of debt and to be able to breathe comfortably once
again.
A few months back I broke my high E string on my electric
guitar and I got a set of replacement strings but have not restrung my guitar
yet. I am going to accomplish that today and begin practicing once again. It has been quite a while since I practiced
and it is about time I begin practicing once again. I figure I can learn a
couple new chords proficiently each week, so by the end of a year I should be
able to play with some proficiency and consistency. Maybe even learn a couple of songs also? Who
knows? My calluses have long disappeared
from my fingers so it will take a few weeks for them to build up once again. I wish I could set up my drum kit, but that
would piss off a bunch of neighbors real quick I should think.
I think if I buy another house, I hope I can have some land
around me as a buffer zone for noise.
That way I could play my drums when I want, play music loud without
disturbing my neighbors, and vice versa.
I never really ever had that luxury before. Maybe if I move back to Illinois someplace,
but that will have to be determined at a much later date. My accountant
suggested I register in a tax free state such as Nevada or Washington State.
I’ll have that to think all over while Linus, Snoopy and I are traveling around
the US back roads for those many months.
Been doing some travel planning these past few days in the
office, mostly the Pacific Coast drive.
Pretty much have reviewed the California coast and still need to review
Oregon and Washington State. So far,
there are lots of places of interest to see and enjoy. We are going to take our time and enjoy it
all!
Guess we will close this post while I have the chance to do
so.
Snoopy says, Bark Less and Wag More!
Until next time… Be Good!
