13lb. Gummy Bear

This is just a note to remind myself come May of what I am making for my darling husband for his birthday this year. It looks dangerous, but one only lives once.

new discovery

I just found a great listing of chords to tons of folk-ish songs here. I have been carrying on about leaving on a jet plane, teaching your children well, and ain't got (having?) money all evening, to my heart's delight. Yes, the downstairs neighbors have turned up their horrendous Spanish-language soft rock, but I kind of take that as a compliment.
It's an impressive stock of some fiercely cheesy songs that are as fun to sing as they are comforting in that false-nostalgic sort of way. And the level is a good fit for unsatisfactory-to-fair guitar players such as myself.
It of course does not rival my dear departed OLGA, which has still yet to be matched.
I just wish I knew the tune of the verse to the song about not giving a damn about no greenback-a-dollar-- it would really complete the experience.

being married

Having beer at home on Tuesdays and
Weekend mornings finding the ski ball in the mall arcade feels like playing hooky from church
On the couch with my book in condo canyon lying next to you
I used to chase cities and vodka and serendipity
I found you and exactly this
Us as a working machine taking care of morning coffee and small bricks to build our lifetime
If I am trapped, it is by happiness, not inertia
