NC for me. I'm so far removed in time from things I played on or recorded for others at this point. It's a part of my life I'm not likely to live in any way again, so going back to listen periodically reminds me of all the fun and concentration and creativity that went into those recordings. And the ...

HOF. Insight that is invaluable for those in need. That's not me, bit still

I first played pickleball in gym class in '80 or '81 and thought it was an awesome big version of ping pong. We had an old table at home up on our 3rd floor and my buds and I spent lots of time up there, so getting enough English on a pickleball to make it hop back over the net before the opponent ...

-I get super grouchy if there isn't enough "peace and quiet" in my day.

Stupid ass routines...
Old age is dumb.

Old age (for me anyway) forces you to slow the fuck down and be more deliberate. Measure your steps, not the distance between them. I've probably told this ...

it's likely a real cast iron grating. Cast iron has some interesting properties but it's brittle as hell and the last thing you should do is whack it with a hammer.

Retirement. This August would be my 40th anniversary working for my employer and their successor companies if I stay that long, but I'm done June 30 because it's the end of the quarter and fuck 'em. I'm tired. And I can tell I've lost a step or two. Because I'm old...
