I’ve decided to pull myself out of my musical comfort zone at least a couple of times a week. I’ll see what’s trending and give it a go. Billie Eilish is among the trending. And I dig it!

Another grueling physical therapy session is in the books. They wear on me, but the point is to get stronger, which I am.
Given the amount of hardware that now resides in my low back, the more work I can get done, the better!
It looks scary, but it feels terrific! The pain is GONE! #fusion

It baffles me when people essentially vanish right in front of me.
You chat. You laugh. Not a single negative word is exchanged. And then … POOF!
Gone.
Well, know this: I’ll only try to reach out so many times. Then I’m gone, too.
I’ll see you when I see you. Or not.

The doctor cleared me to lift up to 20 pounds last visit, which brings all my guitars back into play. BUT … I still can’t bend over to fire up my effects rig.
BUT … if I remain upright and lower myself to the floor, I can scoot over and power everything up! (Insert evil laugh)
Let’s GO!!! #guitar

Something tells me I’m going to be VERY irritated by the time I reach the end of this documentary. As in, “I need to come out of retirement and arrest this dude AGAIN.”
We shall see.

Today in 1993, we lost a giant in Frank Zappa. He’s easily one of the most important composers of the 20th century.

One last shot of the #LEGO #Concorde now that she has a home.
Planes always seem to have names. I’m thinking about calling her “Marcia’s Gift” after my sister.
I’m keeping the landing gear up because I like to think of her reaching cruising altitude. My accent wall makes for a decent sky!

The docs want me up and moving every forty minutes or so. My physical therapist brings ankle weights. I’m settling for the heavier basketball shoes I haven’t worn in three years.

The beginning of #sunset is very pretty from my window. But that doesn’t mean I want to see it before 5 p.m.
Do we really need Daylight Savings Time anymore? I went two years without it in Japan and everything went along just fine.
