I’ve been playing guitar enough since the weekend that I can feel the callouses coming back. The rhythm line from Tangled Up in Blue is coming along now that I figured out a way to deal with the fingerpicking and strumming. I’m not taking any lessons, so it’s all creativity on my part if I can’t find an answer in a book. I should record and post a snippet this weekend.

I finished my mail-in ballot this evening. Voting whether to retain judges is frustrating. It’s difficult to find information to make an informed decision. There is a web site posting results of a large panel that evaluates them, but you have no choice but to take their word for it.
My presidential pick is something I will share. I’m so fed up with the whole government that I wrote in Jack Kemp’s name. It’s a throw-away vote, but I just couldn’t bring myself to vote for Obaba or McCain. Alas.
