GuestIn Memorandum: Terry Baker
My grandfather passed away Sunday morning.
He was over 100 years old, and we've been missing him for some time since he's not been mentally present for many years. It was time.
Even so, I find myself a bit melancholy, and reflective.
obligations and frustrations
the short version:
roommate from college and shortly there after is getting married. the guy is like a brother to me. a brother I have spoken to rarely in 7-8 years. the cost of a L.A. wedding will push my financial situation to an area that I'm uncomfortable with, but I feel like I should go.
-and not but three weeks earlier-
my wife has decided to get elective cosmetic surgery using funds gifted to her from her mother/grandmother.
I feel conflicted on oh so many levels.
Songs for Daughters
looking for suggestions on songs I should learn to play on guitar for my 4 & 5 year old daughters. for singing to them, with them, for them to dance to, and lullabies.
feel free to submit links to tablatures or sheet music. (hint hint)
neighbors, neighborhood, community- Continued
So we had a gathering of some neighbors yesterday.
or rather, the wife and her friend / our neighbor put it together..
I got the feeling I agreed to it a while ago, and then it was sprung on me fully developed likeI had a clue what was going on.
but one quirk that made me a bit uncomfortable: not all the neighbors had been invited in the first pass.
