Hey, yesterday was great! I learned Quickbooks, and I was feeling stronger towards the end of the day.
My wife and I had a wonderful date for lunch. We went to a Chinese Vegetarian “tofu” place, walked around the mall a bit, and then came home and relaxed until the kids came home.
This morning was supposed to be “set up” day for company #3, but I found other things to accomplish – installing a new DVD-RW, a hard drive, and Dragon Naturally Speaking 11. All are needed additions to my computer. And while I didn’t start any work for company #3 today, I did have a nice chat with the owner of the company, and I am set to start fresh first thing in the morning.
My son comes home early on Wednesdays, so I thought I might spend some quality time with him. He enjoys quality time. We started with a guitar lesson. He is showing improvement, now that he’s actually practicing. I think it helps that he’s finally learning a song he wants to learn. That’s how I started. He picked a challenging one too: Boston’s “More than a Feeling.” Man, if he can play that, he’ll be able to play a lot of things. After the lesson was over, we watched a “Rocumentary” on Rush. My son only knows two Rush songs, and it was my hope that he would see the genius behind this band. He may have gained a little appreciation. At least he sat through the whole two hours.
I love Rush, and have since the 70’s. In my clubbing days (in the 80’s), I covered a couple Rush songs (always in the first set, since no one dances in the first set, and no one can dance to a Rush song) and after my club days were over, I honed my bass skills by continuing to practice and learn Rush songs. I figure that if I can play Rush songs, I can play most anything on bass. Now if I can only find a drummer and a guitarist with similar Rush skills…
Day 87 mood: Happy. I accomplished much, but not necessarily what I wanted to accomplish, so I hope to do better tomorrow. Today felt like procrastinating.
