Got a doctor’s appointment for 1:15 today to check the pipes. I guess I’ll head home after I pick up any prescriptions. At least I’ll be able to up my practice time assuming they don’t give me any unexpected bad news.

Throat still really bad; I’m trying to get a doctor’s appointment today. Yeah, right, in my next life maybe if I’m lucky. <sigh> In the meantime it’s really quiet in my office this morning. I think one other person may be in later; until then I have it all to …
How do you stop a one-year-old from screeching like a pterodactyl? No, really, it’s not a rhetorical question.
Throat is still really sore. I think I have one of those whatchamacallits, mouth ulcers or something, in my throat down near my epiglottis. It’s totally painful when I swallow. Ah, sweet Advil eases the pain. Hopefully it will be gone before Saturday’s show. I thought maybe at first I …
Man, my throat was killing me this morning when I woke up. Tylenol helping a little, but it’s still painful to swallow. I don’t feel sick anymore today though. Stiff upper lip and all that rot…. Eleya took a couple pictures of me with Sticks #777 and #691 last night. …

Isn’t it amazing how you can underestimate yourself? I was scheduled to give a talk for a large working group this morning and expected to be ignored, or possibly pelted with vegetables, due to what I thought was the pedestrian nature of the information I had to offer. After spending …
I had a great practice session tonight. I took up where I left off with the rhythmic independence studies in Greg’s Stick Book, and was able not only to master the first three, but also to get through the last three as well. My goal was to be able to …
I have a sore throat today that is bugging me. At least work is going well though. I brought my new Grand Stick in to practice on today. It really needs new strings but fortunately I should be getting some soon. I’ve got to finish selling my other music goods …
I put in several hours of practice today so I feel pretty satisfied with myself. I worked on finger independence and rhythmic independence too, with pretty good results. Playing Stick as my main instrument no longer feels out of reach (although it is still far away to be sure). We …
