Next you're going to ruin my day and tell me it's not made from real Canadians. bongsmilie

About that gif of Ernie growing weed. It's not that far off. This year's PBS 420 special on weed.

Now there's a good idea. I think I just planned my 4-20 celebration, lock the door, box the studio and fire up some mind-bending flicks. Thank you.

I got called out once for getting my entire section completely baked before rehearsal. As my section wandered in, casually, the conductor started commenting on how he smelled weed. After we got tuned and setup, we started the rehearsal and within 5 minutes he stopped and said, "Ok cellos, I...

Yeah, I'm pretty much a DIY homeowner with the blinds drawn. I had pros do the roof, windows, siding, gutters and exterior painting, all in one go so everything jived with the next and so my pale norwegian butt didn't burst into flames in the heat. There were also some structural repairs done by...

Man, I remember skies like that in the mid-west as a kid. 'Fun' is not what I would equate those days/nights to. Hiding in the basement under the stairs with my little sister and parents listening to a pocket radio on the local weather station while sirens went off is how I remember that...

In a step up for this remodeling nightmare life I've fallen into, I don't think I can make a case for hiring a professional anymore. I could stair at this all night. Now to finish the living-room that these lead down to.

Cement patched, 2X4 braces replaced, drywall replaced, base boards cut and replaced, (really pretty solid pine that I'm going to hate painting over, but the wife has thus ordered I am not allowed to replace all the trim in the house just to match one pretty set of stair baseboards.) Now we find...

Come for the paintball shooting security camera. Stay for the cheating couple who say f-it and go swinger-poly at the end. <edit> on review with my wife we've decided it's the daughter-boyfriend that get caught by the cam, not husband off with other woman while wife with other guy at same...

Fun fact in 1997 while I was in college, I walked into the fraternity house after my evening Symphony rehearsal, the night the cult tried to hitchhike a lift on the space ship behind Hail Bop. A bunch of guys were watching the live news broadcast in the TV room when I walked in and they're...

Sorry LG, I was catchin' some Z's at the Nike convention.

...and summer is officially here. Better take this week to get used to the humidity and heat during nightly walks with the wife. If we don't prep early for 90° - 90% nights as oppressive heat and humidity roll in we end up not doing our nightly walk in the summer. For three hours I've...

Food, sex, & sleep; the happy wife trifecta. Now we have a 13 year old, developing her own new and improved version of, "I'm a moody biatch if I'm not getting what I need." I just leave a couple steaks, artichokes, and a blanket outside my studio and put on some light jazz until the monsters...
