The York-Durham Heritage Railway is gone, and I never got the chance to ride it.😥I can only hope that the trackage it used will be used for a GO train extension.

Christmas came and went; I have nothing more to say about it. I might attend a friend's New Year party, but even if I do, it will be a lonely party, given the RSVPs.

It was exactly seven years ago she posted this video, and I just found that out. If you are already sick of the song, you can skip to the funnier renditions. BTW, I named my latest ukulele after her.

Yesterday was a day of firsts for me:
I paid a professional to prepare my (very late) tax return, and I rode the town bus for the first time since moving here, twenty years ago.

It has been a while since I updated you, but I have recently attended two open jams; the first was my debut as a bass player.

I saw this in school several times; thankfully, the internet allowed me to find it again.

This past week was very busy for this musician:
I had five consecutive days doing something musical!

It has been three months since I last heard from Ashley; I guess she realizes there is nothing more she can get from me. I also figure she missed the point:
I cannot vouch for her, because she cannot be trusted!

This past Sunday, I played another open mic. I had the same host as last time, and now there is only one song I have played every time.

Most of the Bluesky users with whom I have exchanged messages have deleted their accounts, one has blocked me, and others don't seem to be on lately. What is happening?

It is snowing today!
There was supposed to be massive snowfall, but it might be okay.

Just like his half-brother/great-uncle Brock, Midas doesn't seem to recognize his mom and dad; so sad.

Halloween went well, despite my nasty cold. Based on what treats remained, we must have had 57 trick-or-treaters.

I am unsure why, but I seem to love Halloween more now than when I was little. The collapse of my last relationship must be a factor.

I sat in on Avanti band practice last night; I think I will eventually be ready for that level, but not this year.

I was tidying a cluttered table, and I found some mementos of my last relationship. The love must have felt real to us both, but she was a real buttinsky!
