Feeling Good

A week of rest and recovery and I'm feeling good. Long walks, exercise biking, research and experimenting, scaling down my coffee intake. Life should be like this more. My pathetic chin hair has been shaved off and I'm ready to roll roll roll.

Rested and Fed

Well rested, well fed, and ready to start reading and experimenting. A half hour on the exercise bike, a new wacom tablet, a bit of code and design. Life is good!

More Rest

More rest, a bit of broom, bells and shaker playing for the Roe Family, puttering about, cleaning. Retirement so far suits me well. Getting some exercise in, going for a nice walk this evening and perhaps doing some drawing. My goatee experiment is a dismal failure. Had a nice moment while getting some art supplies where someone was talking about "when i lived in chi town there was a place just like axe man" and I was able to fill in the missing name, American Science & Surplus.

Yo. Yo.

And a peaceful day spent on the road, driving back up to Minnesota. What a wonderful adventure was had in Chicago. Italian beef sandwiches! French fries! Baby Gigi is speaking and has shown a strange affinity for her papa Matt's bass guitar, although she tends to just grab the strings rather than plucking. A long tortured introduction on Local Anesthetic which left me wishing he had just not played the song, but obviously deserved as I was very very out of it when I talked with him and might have seemed a bit like a prick. A very brief fun performance of some Johnny Cash tunes. A repaired headlight and muffler brace. Catching up with the enigmatic Greg Thomas of Lesser Birds. Hanging out with my brother and ma. More french fries! Coffee with T. And now, back up here. There's a very pressing need to do some cleaning, sleeping, and exercising but other than the sleeping it can wait until tomorrow.
