Having a puppy made me realize how much extra time that I had that I was squandering. Of course, the irony is that now that I have the dog I don’t have any spare time to squander.
I’m starting to get that feeling….the one that says, “You need to take some time to enjoy doing some things that you enjoy doing – playing guitar and recording songs”. I’ve been reading some recording books at work so that I can try and capture that mindset again. While walking the dog I’ve had some song ideas float through my head. Granted, now that I have a smartphone I could make verbal notes to myself but since it’s a smartphone, I haven’t figured it out yet.
My dad’s birthday was October 4th.
I didn’t do anything in his memory although I had a fleeting thought of having a drink in his honor. But I’m pretty sure I was out of scotch (which wasn’t his drink) and had no orange juice (for a screwdriver that he once admitted that he drank in college). It’s very hard for me to drink his beer (Budweiser = rusty nails).
Honestly, I think I was too tired to do it.
Walking a more-than-energetic dog twice a day is pretty draining. And time consuming. He’s still a puppy but luckily he’s learning fast. And a fast learner.
Here he is in his upcoming costume, “Bat with 100-mph-tail”.
