Bonus blog! The baby woke me up at 6:30am, so this is what you get.
Hey folks. The above pic is what I looked like about 12 years ago and about 70 pounds lighter. I'm working on getting back to that weight currently. I know I've talked on and on and on and made promise after promise that THIS TIME IS FOR REAL. Well, no more of that. I gotta, for health's sake. Vanity and "image" is a bonus in this quest. It will take a while. I have to ween myself off of certain things. But I am slowly introducing new foods and better foods/choices in my day to day life. I started walking. I drink more water and eat salads daily. I'm still going over on calories, but not by much. Not like I used to. I'm in this for the long haul. the goal right now is just to get back to where I was 12 years ago and see whats crack-a-lackin' then. No luck needed. I'm doing this for me, folks. It has to be. Or this long journey of mine shall end with a bad ending and I'm a statistic. I'm changing the ending as read. So here we go.
As you can see, I'm already planning ahead for winter:
I realized I didn't share any of my SAXON concert pics with you guys here. I put them up on Facebook and showed some audio on the IDIOTHEAD MORNING SHOW PODCAST but nothing here. Sorry for the neglection. Here are some pics. First, Tim and I at the show...
The mighty SAXON at the Machine Shop in Flint, MI - October 2013...
The venue was small and very intimate but they played like they were playing to 100,000 people. It was a great show. I recommend seeing them if you can.
Baby James isn't such a baby anymore. Last month he turned 1 year old and is now walking. He's starting to say words and that is encouraging.
A rare pic of the boys playing together.
We got some new medicine for the Scott-bot. Hopefully that works on calming him down and getting him to where he can focus on learning the things he needs to learn. He is improving everyday, which is great. Autism can certainly be a bitch at times. But the struggles we fight through are easily forgotten when he does something cute or reaches out. Its rare sometimes, but very great when it happens. I wish I could get into that mind of his. So creative, so playful but also very devious.
New Paul McCartney and Pearl Jam albums out today. I was thinking last night about the good ol' days when record stores (remember those?) would open up at midnight and have a special midnight sale of a new album from a big band that would be released. Oh I stood in line many times to get albums like that. And they were also Ticketmaster outlets. Now its all online. Convenient, but something is missed in the experience of being there on a record release day at midnight. I remember them all, and I miss the excitement of it. Anyone else feel me on that?
I'm slugging through everything I gotta get done artwise, so that I can get to writing and finishing the main two novels I have on my desk. I've gathered all my notes and am working hard on it. But gotta finish this other stuff first! I'm going to try to slug away as best I can on it this week. Wish me luck!
With that, I'll leave you with this: Vulcan Jam!
