Tonight a Quiet Night, but on Monday I Partied with Friends

Recently this happened:

I came home from work. I surfed the Internet. I napped. I ate some turkey vegetable soup. I watched the first episode of the first disc of the television show, 24.

If someone were to ask, “What have you been up to Harley?”

Monday I partied and played music with some musician friends at a co-jammer Fred's Christmas party out in the country about 10 miles past Little Town. There was plenty of good stuff to eat, including a turkey and dressing. (I brought some corn chips and salsa. What was I thinking?!)

Fred handed out cards and he had us all pick gifts starting with the person who had the number 2 card, and then the person who had the number 3 card, and so on. If a person before you had a gift you wanted you can take it from him and he/she had to pick another. I ended up with the present I wanted: a cement statue of an angel.

I'm Baaaack!

I'm back!

*sound of cricket's chirping*

Hello! Anyone here? I'm going to start writing here again.

*more cricket's chirping*

Sigh... Oh well, nobody's around to read what I have to say. That's okay. I'm going to start some new projects and track in words here the steps I'm taking to complete those projects, plus I'm going to write about my life in general. If anybody comes here and reads what I have to say that'll be nice. But I'm doing this for myself first. I'm doing this to help myself become more focused and productive, to log all this focused and productive activity, and to have a hell of a fun time while I am doing all of this.

Wish me luck.

*"Chirp. Chirp. Whatever..."*

First on my list of things to do: go cricket stomping.

*"Chirp! Chirp! We're sorry! We're sorry!"*

All righty then. From now on, let's see some encouragement.

*"Chirp! Chirp! You can do it, Harley! You can do it! Good luck! Good luck!"*
