Today after work, a bunch of us headed over to Matt’s again for another jam session. This time, I ended up bringing along my violin and joined in on a few impromptu songs. Which was interesting. I’m still a stickler for structure, having been raised on sheet music, orchestras and quartets. Noodling isn’t really my…

Yesterday, I came across this sticker. I’ve seen one or two of these in other parts of town, but I can’t tell if it’s some promotional thing, or what. I think some part of me is secretly hoping I’ll discover something as cool as the You Are Beautiful stickers again. So I did a search,…
