I told my girlfriend she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed surprised.

Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) — C+C Music Factory

I seize leisure time with beige caffeine at the height of my day.

Waitress: How did you find your steak Sir? I just looked next to the potatoes and there it was.

Sweets For My Sweet — The Drifters

How much room does fungi need to grow? As mushroom as it takes.

Are You Serious — Tyrone Davis

Early Autumn — Jazz standard by Ralph Burns and Woody Herman with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. There are quite a few nice versions out there, but Stan Getz is one of my all-time favorite tenor sax players.

Transfusion — Nervous Norvus

Do Right Woman, Do Right Man — Aretha Franklin

Black Velvet — Allanah Myles

Old Blue Chair — Kenny Chesney

I visited my doctor today, he told me that I’m going deaf. That was difficult to hear.

Atomic City — U2

I'm old enough to remember when the junk was made in Japan. Where the cheap labor is, the junk will be produced. Even the USA or European corporate brands that have their goods made in the cheap labor countries are guilty. After all, moving there in the first place is to cut costs. I've purchased some good Made-In-China products, and I've purchased some cheap Made-In-USA crap too. IMO, internet order is like mail-order, where you can't hold the product in your hand before buying. That makes it difficult to see obviously cheap crap. And sadly, many products that we used to buy locally, are no longer available locally. I can't buy a pro-level saxophone anywhere within at least 250 miles from here. A couple of stores will carry a student model, but that's it. On the other hand, we can get things on the Internet that were never available locally. I guess everything has its pro/con duality. So we take our chances when we wish upon stars. And so many of the ratings are false. You get the 5 stars clandestinely written by the company selling the product, and the 1 star bogus reviews written by competitors. Sometimes it's tough to sift through the garbage. I always make sure I get a no questions asked return product. As long as Amazon or whoever is going to pay for the return postage, I have an out if it doesn't meet my expectations. Notes ♫

I set an alarm on my phone, so I don't sleep too long. Usually I wake up before it goes off. Being self-employed, I can set my own schedule. The only time I cannot is gig time, and that's something I would lose sleep to do. I'm sure I put in much more than 40 hours per week total doing things like: learning new songs, making backing tracks for those songs, being the band salesman/booker, making Band-in-a-Box aftermarket styles, running the BiaB business, and so on. But other than schlepping the gear to and from the gigs, it doesn't seem like work. Even on non-gig days, I take time for a little power nap. I get 6.5 at night, less than a half for nap, and that makes 7 total hours sleeping. That seems to be all I need. Notes ♫

I agree. I went on a ketogenic diet, back when it was called Atkins. I guess the 1990s. Total weight loss was 65 pounds and I've kept it off. My diet consists of fewer than 20 net carbs per day, and twice as much fat as protein. Most of my fat comes from animal (becan included), nut, and olive oil. I don't consume soybean, corn, or canola (rapeseed) oil. When I go for my annual checkup and blood test, all my numbers are in the normal range. My doctor says “I'm an easy patient” and schedules me for a visit in another year. I rarely get sick, one cold every 15 years or so, I haven't had the flu since I got on this diet, and I'm on zero medications. In my early 70s, my heart was skipping beats. It turned out to be anxiety as people found out how to get my products on the Internet for free, and it took the technicians over 4 days to figure the cure. And the cure was I had to rewrite the code on over 500 products, and it took about a half hour for each. During the diagnosis process, my doc sent me to a heart specialist. He did all the tests, heart, blood going to the heart, blood going through the extremities, and a heart monitor worn 24/7 for over a week. The result was my entire circulatory system was as good as a healthy late 40 or early 50-year-old person. So IMO the low-fat diet is wrong for me. We are all different, so I don't know if keto would work for anyone else, but it certainly works for me. Insights and incites (but not medical advice), by Notes ♫
