We were expecting a couple of inches, but it look more like 5-6 inches on top of my grill. Just when we thought winter was over.. … ■ My desk/office reorg is taking longer that I thought – heck longer than it should. I look at all the stuff and wonder what to do with it. If I were smart I’d just bring a large trash bag up here and just throw it all out. ■ Went and saw our old bass player’s new band – actually one of his new bands – Yesterday’s Children. 10 people in the band – 5 piece horn section, drums, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist and singer. They were good. Lots of Chicago, Buckinghams, Ides of March, etc. Really good. ■

Car working . . . new drawing order ….
My 15 year old Honda CRV was overheating. The temperature gauge would climb from normal to high and then go back down to normal. I finally thought to check the coolant level for the radiator. It was low, so I bought some, filled it up and drove the car to test it. Yup, it seems I was just low in coolant. An easy fix. That’s something I’ll have to remember to check every so often. ■ Got an order for a pen & ink of a home. That’s a picture of it in this post. That driveway must be a PITA to shovel in winter! ■ We’re going to Kenosha, Wisconsin this coming Sunday afternoon to see a band our old bass player is in. The band does a lot of Chicago, Buckinghams, etc horn music. The band starts at 3:00 pm so I thinking we’ll leave here early enough to drive up there and have lunch at the bar before the band starts. ■ TFB. ‘Night. ■

A Flight of Fancy . . . . .
Another bird painting completed. This one’s a Blue Jay. ■ The temps are coming up – spring is in the air. The snow is melting and the dog’s feet are muddy. We like the warm temperatures, but not the mud. ■ Practiced with Pat this past Saturday afternoon and will practice again tonight. I might join him for a few songs this Saturday night. Songs – City of New Orleans, Lyin’ Eyes, Knockin’ On Heavens Door, Dock of the Bay, Love Is A Rose, Down By The River. ■ Need to get my minimal recording studio set up. Dying to record some stuff. ■

Sad day.
My daughter called me this afternoon and asked if her Uncle Jym had passed away. She had seen something on facebook about him. I don’t have a facebook account, so I have to rely on others that do. And, yes, it seems that Jym has passed away. No other details at this point. We’ll probably find out more tonight via facebook. ■
