Jammed

Posted on Friday, October 8th, 2021 at 9:56 am

I attended the jam last night. I slept right up until time, getting things together and arriving at the correct time. The usuals were there with the usual tunes. I didn’t follow, I only led, so my fingers were pressed to steel for 30 – 40 minutes in the two hours I played. I had a few toys with me from the percussion toy box, and they filled the rest of my time playing. I lasted until almost quitting time.


I brought home a tub of brisket chili. I have dogs, but no spuds. I’m debating a store run this morning before the weekend. Spuds, avocado, and… uh. I still need to make risotto. Lots of options here at home. Thinking spaghetti.


Been a little dizzy since last night. Might be a med side effect, since both of the hypertensives list it. Blood pressure looks okay. Sleeping helps, but doesn’t fully cure it. One reason that I’m debating a store run. I finished the baked potato soup, and I’m not that eager for a fresh bag of spuds. Nothing on sale that attracts me all that much.


There is a 6 -7 hour stretch today where AC is probable. I expect to be sleeping for part of that.


I want to get in another exploratory session on the Akai MPK mini. I’m down to buttons, process selection, function mapping. There’s still an avalanche of details, but it’s the one remaining basic that will unlock the details. But that is for later. I’m still in idle after the jam last night.
