It’s late July. It’s been really hot out all month. Almost every day over ninety degrees, many close to a hundred. I’ve been watering the lawn most every day, and trimming and edging continues unabated. We went to the beach last Friday. It was a good time, despite warnings about sharks attacking swimmers, and the ocean being unusually rough. It took alot of effort just to get past the breakers and swim for even a few minutes. Luckily no one got eaten.
In other news, Lizzy got a raise and promotion at her job, and went out and bought a new car, a VW SUV. She got pretty lucky and found the exact model she wanted, available and at a reasonable price. So I bought back from her her old car, a Toyota Camry that she drove thru high school and college, and that I’d given her as a graduation present. Now Michelle has a car to take to school.
I’ve been trying to schedule another gig for my band, but everyone is going to be out on vacation a different week in August, so it’ll have to slide into September.
I’ve been working on music in the studio. I have two songs, Slope and My Ol’ Brokedown Truck, that are close to finished. I recorded real drums for them last night, since I can’t re-create the sound of brushes with midi and samples. Sounding real good.
