Opening Day

Today is opening day for the Boston Red Sox. The first game is a little more than four hours away. They are on the road against the Rangers. Game time is 4:05pm Eastern time.

This is the third opening day since my mother passed away and the first since my father passed away. I am missing them both a little extra today.

Here’s hoping my Red Sox tear Texas a new one to cheer me up. After suffering through garbage hockey for nearly a full season, I am not going to take any crap from baseball. I have spoken.

Unrelated note, here’s today’s photo a day thing (day 208 of 365). I hope you’re not getting tired of the toy camera app black and white stuff because I most definitely am not tired of it. I might use black and white exclusively next month. We’ll see. I’ll probably change my mind before then, but it could happen.

Random Cats

While I stress over the death rattle of my dishwasher (friggin’ thing) and the coup that put a nazi dictator into the white house, I try to compensate and make myself feel better about everything by taking bad photos of cats.

There, don’t you feel better now?

Stoplight Theater: Boston Edition

Today’s stoplight theater comes from a random intersection on the short drive from the hotel we’ve been staying at over the last couple of days to the Mass Pike (that’s route 90 for non-local folks). Fascinating, I know.

Photo a Day

I forgot to take a picture of something… anything… before I left for work this morning. As a result, here is my iPhone’s charger’s eye view of my office… because I had to do something to stay on pace for this silly project…

Another Screwy Day

Today is Thursday and much like yesterday and the day before it is turning out to be a screwy day. Fun.

I overslept this morning. I had a bunch of things I wanted to do before the work day started and then I overslept and screwed up all of my plans. I did get the big things in, my day’s worth of goofy exercise, breakfast, routine stuff like that, and I managed to sneak in a little bit of guitar playing. I put rhythm guitars onto one RPM Challenge song. Not much but better than nothing.

We got a little snow last night. Probably less than an inch. The snow turned into rain and now we have a driveway covered in a nightmare of slush. At some point later today the temperature is going to drop and that nightmare of slush is going to turn into a nightmare of ice and I don’t know if I am going to have time to clear any of it before it freezes. I am super happy about that. Really. There’s not an ounce of sarcasm here. I am thrilled to the teeth by this potential outcome*.

It’s not even noon yet and the work day has been just as crazy as yesterday. Not bad, but a weird combination of hectic and frustrating. It’s looking like tomorrow will be similar, but after that things should settle again. Here’s hoping at least.

In closing, here’s a few guitar pictures from this morning because I am insane.

*Contrary to the above statement, I was in fact being sarcastic. Extremely sarcastic. My words were dripping with venomous sarcasm. Just call me a sarcasm machine.

In the Office

I’m going to be in the office today… and tomorrow… and the next day. Sigh of sadness and frustration.

No guitar playing today, but here’s a guitar pic for the photo a day thing. Hooray.

Stoplight Theater

On Tuesday I tried to run an errand for my wife and it failed in spectacular fashion. Yesterday she altered the parameters of that errand slightly and this morning before work I tried again. This time: Spectacular Success!

The goal was to get it done before the snow started and the first flakes fell as I was approaching our driveway on the way home. Perfect. Also, I took a stoplight theater to serve as photo a day project number 159/365. Boom.

Make the Bed

The least you little fuzzy creeps could do is make the bed for us. You little fuzzy creeps. I can say that Lily was pretty ticked off at me when I took my jacket out from under her. Sorry, Lils.

The First Order

I can’t believe we saw the leader of The First Order in person. A brush with fame. Fascist fame, but fame none the less. Kinda like the USA in general these days, right?

The alternative caption to the first photo would be, I can’t believe we saw that guy who was on that HBO show with Lena Dunham.

Photo a day number 151/365.

Something is Up

Look at that face. That’s the face of a furry creature who knows that something unusual is going on in our house.

I just happened to be changing the lens on my digital camera, after having just loaded a roll of film into a non-digital camera, and she came in to see what was up. She’s on to us. She knows.
