Miserably Camping

Not off to a great start today, again. Combining the shock of Hal's death with several brief but intense thunderstorms and an upset tummy kept me from sleeping at all last night. And my hand and foot are most painful this morning. Thursdays are never fun; this one will really suck.

Crazy People Pt 2

What was that I was saying about crazy people yesterday? Well, one of them will have to explain himself to the Secret Service.

Sick, sick people.

RIP Les Paul

The inimitable Les Paul passed this morning. He left us with multi-track recording and the electric guitar, including the marvelous Gibson Les Paul model. (I've always wanted a GLP silvertop.) We owe Mr Paul one heckuva debt for all he gave us.
