Whoops…. missed a few weeks there! One week I was gone for a friend’s birthday, and the next week it was newspaper layout plus a ton of homework (which I got done just in time to watch 1776 with a few musical-loving friends!). Man, the weeks have flown by…
And then there was this week. At least I did post something, right? But it’s been pretty busy, plus I’ve not slept very well almost every night (I got barely 3 1/2 hours last night, for no apparent reason). But this weekend has been lovely so far, including some fine weather!

And now for acoustic guitar music, courtesy of a Facebook friend:
