The recovery is still going slow. I was exhausted yesterday. Sorry, it is late.

A drunk plowed into my car last Thursday and broke my back. Sorry I missed a week.
As sad and angry as I am, this makes me smile...Thanks Louis!

Another surgery today but I should be healed in two weeks.
That doesn't mean I am happy...
Where are you?

Cooking is my love song.

I need to ask, do they love me for my love, or for the soup and pies that I make?
I do make outstanding soup and pies...

I was originally going to post this band in 2016, but my better sense told me to wait.
Here you go.

I was in Colorado last weekend.
I climbed a mountain to watch the sunrise and an old guy was sitting on the shore of a mountain lake, listening to this song.
Welcome to the world.

Only a matter of time before I got to Yung Gravy. Damn you pop culture!

It's been abundantly dry here. An early dead season is coming.
Maybe I'll just leave the leaves where they fall this year...
This song kicks.

Spent two days this week sampling the delicious fares at the Fair. Sweating after eating 5000 calories is fun!
When this song came out, it upset uptight white people. Now it's playing on the kiddie rides.

On my last day of vacation, driving a dying car from the Grand Canyon to Vegas, scrambling through the airport, and flying back home.
For some reason, this song resonated.

Back after a fantastic vacation. But this week has been WAY too busy.

I have to respect a band who filmed a music video in Ukraine in January.
Although it brings back wonderfully cruel memories...

Exhausting myself for a week off...
Running Up That Hill is great, but The Dreaming is one of the greatest albums ever made. There's hot, and then there's 1980s Kate Bush hot.

Storms came through. Power went out. So did my body and mind. I think I could sleep for a week.
How did 25 years go so quick?

Nine years ago a sunny day beckoned,
I was asked to pick a path,
But the clouds moved in...or rather a tornado.

I like this version better than the ones where the guys are screaming "Utah Saints" the entire time.
If one song were to be the one which launched EDM culture.

The Great 8
Eight Years.
I've been sober for eight years. I feel pretty good about it, although this last year has been tough. I'm not saying 'sitting outside of a liquor store trying to give myself a reason to not go in' tough, but rather I had a lot to chew on mentally and physically.
I nearly died of a kidney issue in May of last year. I initially was blaming my drinking for damaging my kidneys, but my doctor said most health consequences from drinking are gone after the first year, and pretty much completely gone after the second. Nope, I just got unlucky. The lucky part was the top notch medical team who saved me.
I then had hip replacement surgery in October. I thought I was really young for it, but I was surprised at how many people younger than me have had one. It made for a slow end of the year, but I'm back at it already.
Having teenagers in the house also is a delightful burst of stress energy. I love being a parent, but every age has its challenges.
Had COVID in January, but thanks to my vaccination and booster, I was asymptomatic.
I'm still sober. I highly recommend it. You have a shocking amount of extra money, everything in your life doesn't revolve around drinking, and your mind works a hell of a lot better. You do what you want, but hopefully I never fall off the wagon.
Thanks for reading!

I went to a $500 steak house! I was sat next to a bunch of loud, swearing Canadians. The steak was delicious.
