Tommy's on "crazy overtime" once again, but has sent me new music for covers of the Beatles' "I Will" and Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" and I'm champing at the bit to go back to studio with these two favorites. He also told me he thinks the next one will be another original, which I welcome openly. Seriously considering pulling out the guitar and work on something different but with strings over a year old, I quickly remember why I don't. Heh. I should sell the Ovation, the Jag bass and the Fender Rumble 75 w bass amp. I haven't picked them up on months. Keep eyeing a couple of new guitars I'd like to get my hands on, particularly the Eastwood Moderne (50's Gibson design) and Eastwood Backlund 100, currently being used by Todd Rundgren on the Utopia tour.

In case you don't know, Pip rules the roost in our home. He has the center command seat and uses his authority to get what he wants. Especially between 2 and 4 am when I am required to walk all the way downstairs to the kitchen to watch him eat. He won't leave me alone until I do just that. Otherwise, it's jumping on the dresser and swatting jewelry in the floor all the way to knocking over a canned drink sitting on the nightstand. And that pitiful little meow like he's about to die. Being old and waking up in the middle of the night is an opportunity to go to the bathroom, so downstairs isn't all that much of a big deal. Yet. We'll see going forward.
