In other guitar news, I'm going to bring my Ibanez RG550 back to life soon. She's been semi-retired living in Texas, but I think I'm going to get her back into service.

Dreamt last night about playing 2nd guitar for the band English Teacher. We were in a gym and I was struggling with a borrowed effects setup. One set of pedals was in front of my spot onstage, while another was on the opposite side.

20 yrs ago today, my boss was driving me home from work.
“What’re you doing tonight?”
“I’m watching the Rangers. They’re retiring the number of a really important player. I tried to get tickets but it’s been sold out for months.”

I waffled about buying a new gig bag for one of my guitars. The one I had been eyeballing was holding steady at $99 on Reverb...until last night when it went up to $120.

Just had the pleasure of sitting in for a couple of tunes with the fantastic Mike and the Burn-Alls. And really, if you ever hear that Will Owen Gage is in your town, run don’t walk to see him play guitar. He’s brilliant.

Messing with a mini pedalboard I have here, only to discover that my fuzz is dead. Even though it was a cheap one off and not the end of the world, I’m kicking myself for not packing more fuzzes like I said I would. Whoops.

Okay, I admit I didn’t think it was possible, but here’s a story about GenAI that is genuinely delightful:

We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

October 2027. Mets vs BoSox, WS Game 7 bottom 9th. Williams again tips his changeup to Alonso, who proceeds to hit a meatball over the Monster to win it all. Pete becomes Boston legend, and I'll be putting my head in the first oven I find. Just you wait.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
