Yesterday I was up in Greenfield to talk to my brother's boss at Coca Cola. I am ultra superstitious about ever being optimistic, but that aside I guess it went reasonably well. My accident record may not kill me, as I don't have any DOT reportable accidents, and just a no point citation from when I got screwed up and put myself on the wrong level of the GWB.

I've been practicing the STP song "Plush" a lot the past three days. Having worked so much the past year I'm kind of mentally screwed up where I still have the lassitudinous streak I've always had, but it doesn't feel as good to indulge. So I'm practicing for much longer periods that I typically would have in days past. I'd like to play the song at the open mike tonight but I can't really do it well enough just yet. But next week I should be able to do it all right.

I've been playing guitar since 1995 off and on, and I really haven't come all that far. I got overspecialized in fingerpicking guitar to a ridiculous degree so that even the most basic plectrum-strumming pieces are damn hard for me. But I'm working on it. A long time ago a fried of mine observed that I don't like to exert myself, and that's true. Makes me rather behind in overcoming personal hurdles. Working on it.
