    i know very little about floorboard maintenance.

    I'm currently renovating four rooms: living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Every morning I wake up wondering what's going to hurt. Mostly it's alternating legs and lower back. I'll stop when it's time for the pros to take over and finish, but there's so much to do before that. Luckily I...

    I was so surprised to see this pop up on YouTube this morning! Being old, I especially appreciate the Plympton-esque animation.

    What are you listening to right now?

    Unfortunate that he explains how traditional grip came from military drummers playing a marching snare, but he doesn't know that the snare was slung to the left not the right. The way he demonstrates the technique doesn't even make sense.

    Why Everyone Hears This Song Differently

    I apologize if I'm so old that I didn't understand the confusion regarding this "song." I thought it was because it's obvious that a vocal track with no musical backing can be incorporated into almost any metrical orientation, but I'll go back to my nap now. You kids have fun now.

    Why Everyone Hears This Song Differently

    I made it about five minutes trying to figure out the mystery behind being able to count an acapella vocal in several different ways. I hope the rest of the video was staggeringly meaningful.

    Whatcha Reading Right Now?

    I've only read the first one, "Killing Floor," which coincidentally was the plot for the entire first season of the TV show, so I knew all along what was going to happen. Still a good show, though, as was the second season. Anthony Michael Hall is apparently the head bad guy for season three, so...

    I'm coming to America.

    That's only because I wasn't there. I was raised by a sailor and it shows. My friend, I am so happy that you are home safe and sound, and that your trip was (mostly!) good. Looking forward to the pictures.
