Normal

First day of normal in what seems like a month.

All our guests are gone. Sad! It was so much fun to hang out with one of our best friends.

We took him to the bus depot last night. I haven't heard from him so I am assuming he is well on his way home.

Great visit!

And I have to love normal.

Got up this morning, met a couple of my friends for breakfast at the usual place. Then I went to rehearse music. Then lunch, practice more music, off to the chiropractor and home for a nap.

Ahhhh....I love a nap.

Now, after dinner, we will watch a movie.

Normal...got to love it.

Last night we went to the last open mic at Tammy's Restaurant. They sold the place. This makes me mad and sad. We have grown fond of Henry and Tammy and we love their restaurant. They will be missed.

This is a place of constant change. I think it is the hardest part of living here.

We played a couple of songs last night. A bass player and drummer helped us out. I think it sounded pretty good. But, who knows? In a bar, with people talking and kids running around, it is hard to tell.

Tomorrow we play at The Oasis Restaurant and Hotel. It should be a more attentive crowd. But, who knows?

I will be playing over a set with Yella and Rich. I hope I do better than my first time a couple of weeks ago!

I have set up guitar lessons to start next week with a wonderful musician. I am really enjoying learning the guitar. Slow going but satisfying. These lessons should supercharge my progress.

Retirement is now focused on music. I am surprised. I didn't really think it would go this way.

And I am liking it!
