jeff birthday

Who is this filker?


Happy birthday, Jeff! Among a few other silly things, I gave him a box of Fast Break chocolate bars (thanks, Rand). Answers to the last filk picture poll: Rand Bellavia, Terence Chua, Paul Kwinn, Rand again. Any guesses on today's pics?





Enjoyed hanging out with Allison and Jodi last night. We have no gigs for a while, so our get-togethers tend to be purely social these days. We went out for sushi and then saw "Big Fish" at the Elgin Mills Theatre. It usually takes me about an hour and a half to get to Richmond Hill. Meeting in the winter is a bit tougher (it took me two hours to get to our sushi restaurant a few weeks ago ... the bus ride to Buffalo would only take 15 minutes more!), so we tend to only meet a couple times a month rather than every week.

Again, and for so many reasons, I wish someone would hurry up and invent transporters.





What I'm really missing right now: playing my guitar and harp. My setback several months ago was partly caused by guitar playing (when I worked on new songs like The Question), so I've decided to hold off until the spring. Since I'm used to songwriting with guitar in hand, I haven't been writing anything, at least musically.

Perhaps I need to learn to write with the piano keyboard again.





Nearly a week into the 6th Annual Idita Walk , which Allison has inspired me to join. The official goal is to walk 1,049 minutes before March 21, but I modified the goal for myself to be 1,049 minutes of exercise of some sort, whether it's running or walking or doing the elliptical machine, whatever.





Amused by the responses to my filk picture poll, and delighted by the photos that people have been sending in.





Are you a filker willing to submit your childhood photo to a future poll? Please feel free to send it! (spam-filtered address; the first time you use it, you may need to manually enter a code in a follow-up e-mail)
