the fast food of jack in the box is back in my life. and one of the best things about it? they never close! they are open 24 hours, 7 days a week! i can get two tacos for a dollar at 3am if i want to! there’s a location just off 103rd and metcalf (15 minutes away). the last time i lived this close to jack in the box i was 9 years old and i couldn’t go there without thinking of rodney allen rippy. i might be going there again this saturday after playing with the magellans and wailin wall.

this is a quick post for anyone looking for information about the magellans and wailin’ wall (the two bands playing at homer’s coffeehouse this saturday). it’s true… yours truly is in both bands. the magellans is actually danny williams and myself. you can can sample our explorations on the day of mars tab. wailin’ wall is my church band at overland park lutheran.

i really like this pic. thank you awkwardfamilyphotos.com. i don’t know how i was entertained without you.

a couple of nights ago some friends came over to sit by the chimenea in our backyard. we had a good visit, ate smores, told stories… but the thing that made us all go WHOA was the spider in the garage. it was waiting for everyone to pass by at the end of the night. i didn’t kill it, but i did wreck his home.

jenny & i met in college 26 years ago. one of our first dates was at lake olathe with dav mohler and paula rueff. we all sat on some little bluffs overlooking the north side of the lake. i drew cartoons for jenny, while dav and paula drew pictures of us. it recently occurred to me that we hadn’t been back there since the 1980′s… so we returned and found the bluffs again. the trees are a little bigger, but it looks the same.

we scraped, sanded, and primed the south side of our house this weekend. if it doesn’t rain next weekend we’ll finish the job with a thick coat of paint. that’s what we do for excitement around here, sit back & watch the paint dry.

when i teach CPR at the lenexa community center, i usually have a 30 minute window between classes to walk across the train tracks and get coffee and a pastry at a little shop in the old part of town. this always reminds me of high school and going across the tracks with friends to eat a hot lunch in the little building next to the junior high… and then i remember the year we abused that privilege with a food fight.

emotive theory is a music program that my nephew hosts on kjhk in lawrence, ks. here is a recording from the last show. how much do i love college radio? THIS MUCH (hands really far apart) especially when reggie is on it.

danny williams dropped by the house late this morning. we jammed on the monotron, casio keyboard & drums, and electric guitar for awhile. once we scaled back (no monotron, no keyboards, simpler rhythm) we found something we liked. still not sure what it is though.

my cell phone’s video capabilities are limited… but i’m glad they work.
