I had my
picture taken today. It’s almost
Christmas & I thought I might take a pic & have someone scan it in
& put on the blog. But I’m being
honest, the real reason is just so everyone can see my beard. It turned 9 months old today and, even though
it’s not walking yet, it’s pretty awesome.
And by awesome I mean ridiculous.
I always wanted to have an Uncle Franky/ZZ Top beard and in another year
I’ll be there. But in the meantime, I
figured I could send a little teaser. If nothing else maybe you’ll get a laugh.
“When all is
said & done, there is nothing left to say or do”…… Why did I just hear that
for the first time? Simple enough, &
makes sense, & is kinda humorous.
I’ve just never heard it before.
And if you haven’t either, now you have.

Today I
calculated that, traveling at the speed of light for 1 year, you would travel
roughly 58,747,626,000,000 miles which can be easier said as just under 59
trillion miles. That’s a long way to
travel in a years’ time. I would recommend not hanging your head out of the
window if you’re planning on traveling that fast. I won’t go into detail about the conversation
that led me to “needing” to calculate this, but I think I can safely say that no
one reading this would otherwise know this fun fact. I know. Fun!

The Huckabys
paid me a visit today. Always lots of
love & laughs when they come. Be
sure to ask Benji to/ show you his Riverdance dance moves next time you see
him. I’ve told it to a few people in
here myself. Good times.

Well, I had
to ‘sign’ for a disciplinary write-up today.
I was not sitting or standing for the 5:00am count this morning. I did not hear them call it out. Neither did 14 others out of this 64 man
pod. Sounds like a set-up to me. All I got was a written warning. But it does put me on package restriction for
6 months and it restarts the year-long clock in order to get permission to get
a musical instrument. Petty.
Speaking of
guitar, the song of the day is a Jimi Hendrix cover of “Who Did You Think I Was?”
by John Mayer at the 2010 Crossroads Music Festival. It’s not on an album, but there used to be a YouTube
video of it. It may actually be the John
Mayer Trio, but it’s all around amazing.
His smooth playing, his bassist jamming his tail off & the drummer
whoopin the snot out of those skins. All
wrapped around a classic. You’re welcome.
