Union-tastic
I am not doing my usual live blogging during the State of the Union address by President Bush. It’s his last address, and I haven’t watched them all. While I have the television on right now and tuned to CNN, I don’t think that I will keep it on thru the whole address. It seems tired, useless, even boring. And since I usually find myself getting angry during the whole thing, it’s probably best to ditch the broadcast and read the remarks of others once it’s all done. Though, the soothing voice of Wolf Blitzer is enough to make me reconsider. Oh, wait, he’s stopped talking now.
I had my first song-writing class tonight, despite the fact that I thought it started last week. It is definitely different than I expect and seems largely geared towards moderate to experienced players, looking to start turning their skills into songs. Unfortunately, I could not be farther from that picture. I have experience writing lyrics, but need help adding in the musicality. So maybe what I need are piano or guitar lessons, rather than a class on song-writing. I hate to start doubting the class after just one session… anyway, I’ll let you know what I decide.
It’s warming up outside, today anyway. Temperatures over 0 degrees makes the weather seem downright balmy. The 40s we reached today had me in shorts and a t-shirt, sunning on the hood of my car. No, but I did walk around with my coat unbuttoned! Even the wind felt good; that hasn’t happened since last fall. It’s not spring yet, but it’s getting close! I suspect spring will be here by at least May 1.
Okay, I’m turning back to the State of the Union. Watch it yourself! It’s good to stay informed, no matter how dull it might be. If you don’t know what’s going on in this world, there is no excuse you can offer that I will buy. Get informed!
