While my guitar
Gently weeps

Just a note to say that I’m really digging the guitar, or really just playing an instrument again.  It’s nice to rediscover that 1) I could play for hours if my fingers had the stamina 2) that I totally lose myself when I’m creating music (no matter how ragged it is).  Great way (dare I say even better than that glass of wine?) to take the edge off a rough day.

Added bonus: Bailey’s “humming” has progressed to a full “singing” now with quite a range from high to low and a few “barking” raps thrown in for good measure.  Enough to make me weep - although the guitar weeps too since he usually licks it midway through his performance.  We’re trying to get a video update, but he seems to get more shy around Kyle.  It’s a mama-puppy thing I guess, and really best experienced in person.

We had a fabulous time in Yosemite a few weeks ago. We did the following hikes:

1. Upper Yosemite Falls
2. Sentinal Dome, Glacier and Taft Points
3. Chilnualna Falls
4. Lukens Lake
