Had first ever parent-teacher conference this morning. We are told they are using less than a liter of Holy Water per day during their "The power of Christ compels you" one-on-one time and they haven't had to resort to employing "The Device" in a few weeks, so good news all around.
I kid. He is doing just fine.
In addition to mowing the lawn for what is likely to be the last time this season, I finished sealing the deck this weekend (last weekend was called on account of rain). Man, I am glad that is over. It looks great.
Finally passed "In Bloom" in Rocksmith. I am not sure if I actually deserved to go on to the next level or if I am on the receiving end of a pity-filled, government mandated "No Rocker Left Behind" program. I must have rehearsed that song seventy or eighty times before I passed. Well, give me an "E" for effort cuz God knows it sure as hell doesn't stand for a proper E chord most of the time. But I passed...
You know who loses here, though? The poor virtual people that paid to hear me play at my gig. They enjoyed the first song of my set a lot but not my horrible rendition of In Bloom when it came time to play it. Away went the cheering and the cell phone cameras and out came the dead-eyed uncomfortable silence. They weren't hostile, but I definitely got the feeling that if someone suddenly shouted "Get him!" they would have rushed the stage...
They did not ask me to do an encore. I have to be honest with you... that hurt my feelings just a little bit. I can almost picture the club owner avoiding my eyes and softly saying “Go. Just... just go...”
More later.

Oh. That's why my dreams last week all had nirvana songs in the background
