Keep on keeping on...

Today we begin with the opening lines from “UMass”, The Pixies’ glorious (and charmingly descriptive) ode to their alma mater:

In the sleepy west of the woody east
is a valley full, full o' pioneer
we're not just kids, to say the least
we got ideas to us that's dear

Pretty much says all you need to know about the area.

A busy past month for both of us as the school year winds down, so no amazing new adventures to report. Heidi has acquired a nasty cold, just in time for her finals to begin this week. The weather has finally turned consistently nice, so it has felt good to get out and put a few miles on my bike. We’re both looking ahead (and looking forward to) a short road trip to MN – just a few weeks away.

The ongoing guitar project? The guitar body wasn’t taking the stain evenly, so Plan B was several coats of a rich burgundy red spray paint – looks pretty good so far, and the varnish is going on now. Should have things finished and wired up for play testing within the week; I’ll post pics when ready.
