Took the kids to Bee Tree County Park this morning. Fabulous views of the Mississippi and a stunning 1929 summer house mansion. What’s not to love?

Today I found out I am ‘bang on the window to get the squirrel off the bird feeder’-years-old.
Hold music that plays for a seemingly-random amount of time, suddenly cuts off in the middle of a phrase, then starts again after a second or two and plays for a different length of time feels actively hostile.
Today is the first day of in-person summer school. And my youngest is at daycare. And my wife is at work. Meaning, for the first time in a year+, I get to work a regular day by myself at home.
It’s been an emotional few days — I performed with my singing group again for the first time in more than a year, my oldest kid turned six and graduated from Kindergarten, and we sold our first house where we’ve lived since being married. Still feeling it out.
I know I had an idea I’m excited about when I look up from my computer and it’s suddenly much later than I anticipated.
Today, for no apparent reason, Heywood Banks’ “The Cat Got Dead” popped into my head for the first time in probably a decade. So now it can be in yours too.
Heh. From behind the office door where my kid is logging on to his music class, I hear him sing (to the tune of the Jaws theme):
“Muuu-sic. Muuu-sic. Mu-sic mu-sic mu-sic mus-icmus-icmus-ic.”

Today I booked 2 different home-related appointments and for both of them the people didn’t show up or call. (The first I tracked them down and they were very apologetic and nice and came right out; I haven’t called the second since their window was over at 8 p.m). Am I a ghost?
