Does dark or light rum go with smoked cheese...I can't remember?

Pigeon, or maybe a dove

Here's a pigeon I took a picture of on my fence in the backyard. Enjoy

Working from home

I usually work from home a couple of times a month anyway, but now that I have to work from home it feels weird.

New Song...maybe

I worked on a new song for about an hour or so. I have the music for verses, chorus, and lyrics for both. I worked on some transitions coming in and out of both, and felt a sense of accomplishment after, but the problem is that I'm not sure if it's good or not. It sounds like a weird thing to say, I know. How could I not know if it's good? I mean, I know it's good, as in, it doesn't suck, but is it appealing to the senses. Is it interesting? Is it compelling? I can't see the forest for the trees.

I have tons of examples of song ideas like this, where I have to step back. Sometimes weeks go by before I listen back and decide on a song idea's validity. Unfortunately, if too much time goes by, I either forget about it, or I consciously or subconsciously decide that it must not be worth pursing if I have not gone back to it and reevaluate by now.

I have done this for years. Below is a glimpse of my archives. In 2001 I bought my first MP3 player which had a record function, so that's where the digital era begone, but I have a bunch of old cassette tapes of ideas going back years.

I actually HAD cassette tapes from the very beginning of when I first started to learn to play guitar (1978 ish), and quickly tried to write songs, but those tapes are gone.

I do have an example of one of those early songs. Somewhere around 1986 I recorded one of those songs. At that point I still remembered how the song went, and had the lyrics written down. This is a 4-track cassette recording, with me playing drums (poorly). I added harmonies and a guitar solo, and other things that at the time I wrote the song, had no idea how to do.

The Edge of Happiness

Stir Crazy?

Almost convinced myself that I'm already going stir crazy, even though I'm doing stuff I always do. Worked on new song, played terrible version of "All Mixed Up", workout in the garage, laundry, freelance work, etc. Might change, but I need to enjoy the cushy life I have right now.

Dallas mayor bans public gatherings of more than 500 people

Not debating if it's wrong/right, but does a mayor have power to ban public gatherings? Is that not a constitutional right (assembly)?

So...

No

No, but maybe yes, maybe no

Yes

I nailed a great parking spot at work this morning.

I guess I should work from home, as I do from time-to-time anyway. It's so quiet and weird in the office.
