Noteworthy...
Alrighty...
Lately, I've intentionally stayed away from 'what I did this week' blog posts, mainly because I figured anyone reading this stuff would care less.
But for the 1-3 people out there who actually do care...I might as well mention a few things.
- The camping trip last weekend was great. Perfect weather, great hiking, beautiful scenery, good company, and food WAY above par for a camping trip...thanks to Dale B. We ate good, laughed at stupid jokes, stood in awe at the majesty of God's creation, and wore ourselves out as fat people who hike tend to do.
- Stacey is surving a tidal wave of work issues. Fortunately, it seems that the insane people she's been dealing with are bailing out...and the future is pretty promising. In the meantime, however, her work week is a soap opera of issues that simply do not belong in a professional environment. Still, I'm glad she's toughed it out and it seems to be she'll be the last one standing when all's said and done. Good for her...
- Spent a good portion of tonight putting Philip's advice into practice during band rehearsal. I raised my amp up on a stand (moving it closer to me)...and Jack and I both used the line-outs on our electric guitar amps instead of mic'ing them with the SM-57s as we've done for a long time now. Dave showed up and applauded the fact that it seems the sound guys will finally have some control over the guitar volume.
There...that's it. Nothing philosophical/spiritual. Nothing deep. Just blah-blah about my life.
But sometimes it's these details of life that mold the rest of it. The camping trip was reviving. Stacey's work situation weighs on both of us. And dealing with the sound issues helps overcome a minor frustration that's been nagging at me for years.
After all, it's also in the real-world where all the things I say I believe and aspire to be either get put into practice or they don't.
