That was a busy weekend...

[mapsedge]

Saturday was spent mostly on music, in one form or another. Music tracks for a singing group, then a performance in the evening. Somewhere in there, we fit in a trip to Lowes to garden soil and get a new door for Jami's room (had to break the old one down after Jami locked the door and closed it.)

I begin to wonder how folks ever grew food before Miracle Grow Garden Soil. Apparently, "dirt" isn't enough. Who knew? Maybe the centuries of agriculture I assume happened is just a fabrication, that vegetables didn't actually grow until about twenty five years ago.

The performance was fun, as always, with some folks there I've always wanted to see in my audience who made it for the first time. The audience was small, but that's okay. I didn't feel "on"...there were some dark spots in the day and it colored the performance, I'm sure. I've also been so focused on the CD that I haven't been practicing as I should.

I'm still confident of a May 1 CD release. That gives me two weeks to finish recording/mastering. Do-able, if we can keep the Scheduling Wolves at bay.

Sunday: Easter, of course.

While the family was in church I spent time in "studio" recording: another song completed and ready to burn.

Everyone home, we had brunch with Michelle's parents - eggs, bacon, Michelle's World Famous Biscuits, gravy - then an Easter egg hunt for the kids.

A long nap, much needed, but I slept too deeply and it screwed me up for a couple hours. I know better. I did it anyway.

Started cutting the new door to size. Of course, nothing's standard in our house which meant trimming the door to fit. The door is hollow, so I had to cut and glue in filler pieces. Next time, I might buy a door too small and add to it instead. Some research is in order, there.

Supper of roast chicken, mashed potatoes with chicken gravy, cucumber salad with raspberry/red wine vinaigrette. I've gotten good at gravy. Yea me.

Monday begins with thunderstorms, though they weren't nearly as a bad as the radar made them look. I think the TV folks are messing with the colors just to tweak the ratings. It's sunny now, last I checked.

Worked some more with PHP. I'm liking it a lot, and will probably start transitioning to doing all my work there.
