After 10 years of amplification stability, change rears its head. In with the new, now just need to do the out with the old part......

Wait, didnt we just do this? Five solid hours breaking story on Friday? Well, I scoff at those paltry hours. This time seven solid hours finishing the scenarios. Do I get overtime?...

So what do you do when youre stressed out of your gourd, work is crushing your soul, and you finally come to the realization that coffee needs to leave your life? You play music, silly. Comin up!...

When is a gig not just another gig? I suppose when youre not worried about money but rather making music to try and make others happy. A quick audition of sorts for what amounts to a jazz collective/band that plays...

Wow, my ISP is really fubar. Evidently they were testing the fire equipment and some halon got let loose in the data center, frying a number of drives. So the main nostatic.com site is currently not up, and wont be...

OK, that was a tidy 5+ hours solid of breaking story and scenario development. And we only finished the first of 6 scenarios. Yikes...at least I now know whos related to who and who died tragic deaths in the past...

When a 3-star general says jump, you say, yes sir, how high? So how quickly can we contract this?!?...

yup, that pretty much describes it......

Another nascent project with a big problem attacked by gaming. The only question is how. Well, thats what you have smart young people around for (no, not me but I helped). They give the spark, then you spray the gasoline....

Another week, instead of travel, chock full of meetings. Let the festivities begin!...

Finally some sunshine, and managed to pry the boy away from the computer to get on 2 wheels. Unfortunately he went out too hard and fast on the boardwalk and quickly bonked. Oh well, I had to get to rehearsal...

For some reason the boy is singing Chicago tunes, though not the one referenced in this posts title. No time in the park anyway, as rain dampens plans, as does just general, screw it Im tired. I do have to...

One invariable side-effect of business travel is dealing with all the things that dont get done while youre away. While you can do a fair amount electronically, if you have sporadic access (like I did) and/or are busy non-stop during...

How about brief a 2-star and a 3-star general on your (the teams your) training system? Oh, and a sunburn to boot (who should need sunscreen in Feb?!?)...

How about 80 degrees and rain? Thats FL for ya. Time spent in the convention center with millions and millions of dollars worth of military industrial complex toys on display. Never boring......

And again...and again. This time to Florida. At least it wont be snowing... Lotsa Cuban...an other stuff...

As some might know, I do acoustic cover versions of songs on youtube under the moniker of perilousRelish. I clearly state in the title the original artist and that Im doing a cover song. What harm can that do? Well...

Wait, you mean tomorrow is Monday and time for work? What the hell...Id rather go back to rehearsal......

Finally back on the road on the bike after travel during the week and the previous battery dying scenario. North on PCH to Neptunes Net. Not a big showing of bikes, but there was an interesting conversation with a Ducati...

Those 21 hour days will always take their toll......
