Yeah, my left shoulder is a bit tender after drumming this morning. But despite that, I think all the music went off well today. I even got some nice compliments on my playing from a completely unexpected source. While that’s not my goal or anything, it’s definitely nice to hear once in awhile.

Afterwards, a WHOLE bunch of us ate lunch at one of the 9 million Mexican restaurants we have in town. Even with all the chaos, the food was good and the service decent. Large groups typically stun most dining chains. You can see it in the hostesses eyes when she asks how man and you reply with something in the upper teens or twenties. Then they try to make you go away by telling you “oh, it will be about a hour wait or so”. If you have the time, I like to say “Great! We’ll sit here and clog up your waiting area in the meantime” just so they cringe that you weren’t dissuaded by the wait time. But I digress.

Finished watching the F1 race in Bahrain. This one wasn’t quite as eventful as the last, at least with the front-runners. There was lots of action further back though. Congrats to Felipe Massa of Ferrari for his win and a bigger congrats to Lewis Hamilton for yet another podium finish - the third in as many races his first year in F1. That’s quite a feat.

Winter came back. I can’t complain too much because Traveling Chica’s been hammered up where she is in Wisconsin. Here in the south though, dipping down almost to the freezing mark after you’ve been in the upper 80’s kinda throws things off. It was time for the sweaters and coats again.
