Oops, I seem to be in a band

Had my first jam session with my new band friends on Friday night. I learned a couple of new songs, semi-learned a couple more. YES, I HAVE STARTED A SPREADSHEET.

Uh oh. These people are GOOD. And loud. And they like fast, energetic songs.

We're doing some Pat Benatar, Blink 182, Green Day (soon), No Doubt, maybe some Alice In Chains, that sort of thing. All new songs to me, which is fine. I don't actually remember any songs from my previous lives; and frankly, if I never play Van Morrison for drunk 40-something coworkers ever again, that's okay. Not that there's anything wrong with being 40 - I wish I was 40 again! - just saying this is a different vibe altogether.

Edit: Also, cue me trying to remember which online sheet music stores I bought stuff from 20 years ago to see if I can re-download any of it. ALAS. SheetMusicPlus admits it knows me, but says I've never bought anything.

I keep meaning to post a dream with. I keep not posting to dream with. There's been so much going on there's so much I feel like I should be telling people about there's so little indication anyone is reading here, and there's so much where the people I might want to talk about and experiences and the thoughts are also around people who conceivably could be reading here whether or not they actually are.

I feel like I want to mention though: on the way out to this game play test thing that on very very I drove out to I called 92-year-old uncle. What's kind of interesting is that with most people it's completely unpredictable what they may or may not see on my Facebook yeah because he's following almost nobody, he gets emails of almost everything I write. And so as it turns out he's seeing my pictures and politics and the holy s*** look what's going on now and there's a small rally save NASA at the Eisenhower tomorrow and all the stuff with 50501 and everything else and he asked what I thought my father would think and I said it's a mercy dad didn't live to see this and I was pretty passionate about all of the ways dad believed in the power of government to protect the little guy to help people. And I'm really honestly confused as to does he actually understand what's happening now or is he compartmentalizing or does he actually consider this all just as bad and terrifying as I do but it's too hard to admit?

One of the things I also mentioned to him is that a number of states have trigger language in their Medicaid laws and any change from the feds will end the expansion and I have friends who that is their health insurance and I have one friend who has several aggressive cancers and that is how he lives.

I'm sort of parked, but I need to make a call to figure out where I'm supposed to actually be going. Maybe more later.
