Well, at least you got a few days rest while she was away . . .

She's home for two weeks, and then she and a girlfriend are going to our apartment in Florida for two weeks....
Because it's horrible playing.
I know. I get more jealous by the day.
And I've been practicing for three days in a row! We're on a roll! There's no stopping us now!!

Sukie I would think you'd pick the strings closer to the saddle for that Troy Fernandez sound
Good morning hos
Fingerpicking. Aaauugh!
Sarah has me learning "inside out" picking: pluck 3-2-1-4-2-3 under whatever chord I might be holding. My repeatability collapses at about the 6th iteration. I'm such a spazz.

And that's without changing chords.

Ridiculous, our county road crew does the same thing, closes roads for 6 months at a time. Ever see that video of the Chinese removing an entire expressway in a city overnight?

But just think - in a few days, you'll be retired and have all the time in the world to practice!!!!
No, but I remember a story from back in the time of newspapers saying that the Chinese and the US built comparable earthen dams in the same length of time. The difference? The Chinese used thousand of laborers; the US used bulldozers and The lowest bidder.

Listening to Tim Ferriss' podcast. Derek Sivers is talking about how Kimo Williams got him through Berkeley School of Music in 2 years instead of 4.

Last morning at the lake. Headed south this afternoon.
I always say goodbye to the place. I never know if it's my last time here. It's quite ridiculous to maintain a vacation cabin 1200 miles from where you live along with 10 other owners. I only visit every couple of years and the upkeep on an almost 100 year old cabin is crazy.
But the emotional strings tug very hard on all 11 of us cousins. Our grandpa built it in the 30's, our two young mothers helped strip the logs. We all spent our summers here as children. It's our history and that history is hard to let go of.

Since when does "he probably doesn't remember who I am" stop you from dropping a name?
They closed a road that's the only direct route from our place to Sheryl's grandma's and Emma's horseback riding lessons. The alternate routes add a good 10 minutes to the trip. Should be open again sometime next week, I think - it's been closed over a month now. They're building a new high school and closed the road to do utility work for the school.
The school is right on the edge of the district, and because of its location the entire district has been remapped - about 50% of all students will be going to a new high school next year. Also, because of the location, the kids who live in the new development right across the highway from the new school won't actually go there - they will go to a school in a different district and be bussed.
Land large enough to build a high school is very scarce in our area, and I understand that there were probably few to no other options - but this is really screwing things up. Fortunately, we don't live in that district any more, so we watch the chaos but don't have to participate.

Nothing wrong with that. Some of the best yellow fizzy beer comes out of the US. Miller Lite is constantly winning awards. It's just another category.
Mike -- thank you for having UWC again next year. It's my summer event.
