Something is in the air.....there is something brewing.

Some sort of change coming.

I hope it is for the better.
I'm not even sure for whom it's coming.....but it's coming. I can feel it.

For the record....

I love my family.....my kids...my parents....extended family......friends both here in Casper, Colorado, Washington DC and elsewhere......and here too.....I am a lucky and grateful man.

I don't know what it is. Maybe it will be for me and be something really good. It is time for me to have something really good happen. That would be cool. I have been working hard for a long time. I love what I do, but it isn't easy. Maybe someone is gonna walk through the shop front door, and spend 20 thousand bucks. Who knows? It happened once before. That was a nice chunk of change. I like those kinds of change. "Chunks of" that is.....

I have been a drummer most of my life. I count to 4. Then I start over again. It's my job.
I hate to "give" change. It takes so long. Especially if the customer pays with a larger bill.....1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Yeah...giving change sucks. But I am not totally convinced receiving change is all that fun either. At least every time change comes around. Sometimes it is very hard. Other times it is very good. I need a good one ....for a change.

Maybe someone will come by today and buy me lunch.....that would be a nice change. I like nice changes. Maybe someone will take you out to lunch. I hope that would be a nice change too, for you.

Maybe it's just the seasons. Things are getting ready to move over for winter. Start shutting down, going through the wild color thing before completely going to sleep. I don't think I mind that change either, as long as it happens reasonably. I hate it when it snows the day after a 90 degree day. That is a rather big change.

I know one thing....I am in no way ready for freaking Christmas. that's just too big a change yet. Or Thanksgiving, although I give thanks every day.

I am not even ready to deal with Halloween. I hate Halloween anyway. There is enough "evil" in the world already. People can be so mean to each other ....it is amazing to me sometimes. I see no need to even mention evil out loud, much less glorify it in some weird way. I mean really......

I don't get Halloweenie. And just to save you time in trying to give me your version, I don't want to know. K? Thanks.

Maybe it's just the news. Maybe that's it. Maybe I should just stop watching the news. It is so durn depressing. And most of it ain't really news. Nothing but tabloid trash TV if ya ask me. Covering us all with a wet gray wool blanket, blocking the light....masking the good....taking away joy from so many other opportunities.

I happen to believe there are many more good things happening than bad things.....why do I sometimes feel like the bad is so big? Like a Steven King book or something.
I think it's because it is what I am fed. It's what I allow in my mind. I think I will see about that. I think I will maybe do a little more intense filtering of my own. I do some of that anyway, but maybe it is time to step up that program a little for ol Tunes. More guitar...less OJ.

Change is good. It's the only consistent thing there is. I like change.
Except when it hurts.

"Being changed" is sometimes difficult.

Like loosing your eyesight.....cause your getting up there a little. Knees don't bend anymore. Stuff like that.
Or like when the phone rings in the middle of the night....I hate it when that happens.

Actually...I don't particularly like it to ring in the middle of the day either, much less the night. During the day, a ringing telephone is just usually someone wanting another bloody piece of me. I have thought about just turning on the answering machine with a pleasant message about how if they will just leave their number I will call 'em back after I finish with the "customer in the store". But then I think I probably ought to run the store a little more like a business, and less like a personal hiding place. I don't know why. It would be a change I guess.

I also don't like to have to go to the bank to get change. They keep change there too. Lots of it. But that is another blog.

The election will bring change ....won't it? Won''t it?
Now there is a "phone ringing in the middle of the night" if I ever heard one! Wonder who is gonna answer that one? Not me.

Probably won't bring much change at all.....and if there is any change, it just doesn't seem like it's gonna be for the better, does it? I don't know. Hand me that guitar will ya?


We could really use an uplifting strong righteous leader about now I think.

I am grateful for my personal Leader. Without that....I would not have as much hope as I do.

I hope it's not too hard, this coming change......I hope whom ever it affects....I hope it's not too hard.

And believe me....as gray and wet as this blog may sound..... underneath it all?

I am full of hope.
And faith.

I am happy
And grateful for those things. That aren't things at all.

With the strength to accept and make the best of the inevitable changes life brings.......

Peace and Grace to all......
