Wow I’m only posting things once a month. That’s sad. I’m not sure why. Lack of time? Not focused on being a writer anymore? A combination of both those but mostly lazy. Maybe it’s cause not much happens weekly, even less daily. Pretty boring life.
Let’s see what’s been happening. the weight loss has slowed some. I lost a few more lbs since the last posting. Now weigh 50 lbs less. That’s been a big change. I continue to work on replacing my fence around my backyard. There is no way I could do that if I stilled weighed 277 lbs. Not in the Texas heat we’ve had lately. I continue to play hockey at least once per week and we are signing up for a D league this summer, starts on July 14.
So what’s this about not being a writer? Yes I’ve stopped my subscription to Writers Digest and really haven’t been doing anything in regards to writing. Except this blog. My focus now is on music production. I’ve been gathering lyric ideas to go with all the guitar riffs I have. And I’ve pulled out some old song demos with the plan to dust them off and maybe rerecord and add lyrics. I’m still a member of BMI but I have only one song registered with them. An old song from 2001 called O.B.L. It’s a song about Osama Bin Laden and was written a couple of days after September 11. The lyrics came to me in the shower. Was pretty easy writing. Then I added a folk song guitar accompaniment to the lyrics and recorded before I would forget it. Pretty cheesy 16 years later.
Anyway my focus these days is on my fence, playing hockey, watching my calorie intake and working on my music. And of course dealing with the day to day issues that come up with the family.
Getting old is not fun as is, but having to watch all your Heroes you worshiped or followed or cared about start passing away makes it even more difficult. Of course watching family, aunts and uncles, maybe a parent leave this mortal coil is certainly devastating but second is watching your heroes pass. Today we lost a guitar Hero for many guitarist, 
You were going to assume i was going to say box of chocolates? No. I heard an aptly defined analogy for Life tonight at a business dinner. Life is like a roll of toilet paper. When you get a new roll there is plenty of paper, it unrolls slowly and there are no worries.
I hate to Spring Forward. I like the extra sunlight after work but man is it hard to get up for work that first Monday after changing the clocks. This morning was tough. If we can’t get rid of daylight savings here in my state I propose we should move the clock changing to 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning. That way we have Sunday to get acclimated to the new time. Or better yet we start changing the clock on Wednesday in 15 minute increments so by the time we get to Sunday it’s one hour forward and the physical and mental impact is minimal.
Sunday is usually pretty dead as far as planned activities. Today though was a day for family. I started the day with breakfast with the wife and our 2 year old grandson. He is entertaining though a bit headstrong when he gets an idea in his head. About mid morning my oldest, and father of said grandson, texted asking if I wanted to go see the movie
