Cat Conspiracy?

I'm beginning to think Dweezil and Moon are conspiring against me. I don't want to think ill of the little buggers, but its starting to become rather obvious...

Here's the deal. It seems that ever time I try to get some sleep, it is their play time. And I'm not just talking night or morning. Nap time, too. And it doesn't matter if they're asleep too. When they see ready to slumber, its all out play time. And please keep in mind that we live in a very small apartment. I hear every step they take. I hear ever thing they get into. Oh yes, I know what they're up to.

So I've been spending a lot of mornings lately yelling at them as I try to sleep. They want to be fed as soon as there is light in the sky. I myself prefer to sleep until 8:30 or 9AM. And on the nights where I work at the Bistro and happen to catch a few beers after my shift, then I might try to push it to even 10AM. But the furry little fuckers are having none of that!

Daylight=food.

So, yeah, its my day off. I'm up at 8AM. The cats are fed. And of course now they're down for their morning nap. Little bastards! And I'm up drinking coffee. And when I go down for my late morning nap, guess what time it'll be? That's right... indoor cat olympics. So tired..........

My love for music

I've been wondering lately which one of my kids is going to catch the music bug. Or if any of them will. I was about 8 years old (Wyatt's age) when I caught the bug. I remember a Christmas around that time when I got two albums, Elton John's Greatest Hits and Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits. I wore those albums out! And my aunt Nan loaned me a stack of albums and said that one day I'd thank her. I can't remember the exact albums, but I know one was Frank Zappa. One was the Rolling Stones. I believe there was a Zeppelin and a Grateful Dead. When I first got into music, it was all vinyl. There was a local music shop in Fayetteville called Paradise Records. They also had tapes. Then one day these things called CDs appeared. The CD section was tiny at first. And my first CD was Huey Lewis and the News 'Sports.' But that section quickly grew and before you knew it, the record section was almost non-existent. We used to go to the record shop all the time. Back th...

Thoughts On Bars and Bartending

Now for some thoughts about bars and bartending, which I did for 25 years. BIG disclaimer: these are my opinion. They're opinions based on a ton of experience on both sides of the bar. But please don't take them as fact. Within the hierarchy of the restaurant, the bartender is right behind the chef at the very top. Both the chef and the bartender are responsible for creating things. Both should be expertly skilled. And both are the reasons that guests come to the restaurant. I got my first bartending gig in 1998. I attended a bartending school which the BIGGEST waste of time and money. I'll explain why shortly. My first gig was at the Angus Barn. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I had never bartended a day in my life. But their hiring philosophy was to hire good people (which they couldn't train) and then train those good people to do what they needed to do. I was there for two years. I got better with each shift. Looking back I realize that I was awful. A...

I Got Burned

I found this band from Australia recently named The Bamboos. Really digging them lately, especially this little tune!

And It’s Still Alright

Quite possibly the best band touring at the moment...
