Fuzzy Art


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure when this accidental picture got taken. I discovered it on my phone while I was cleaning up pictures to put on the blog. I'm fairly certain this is an extreme closeup of the scarf I was wearing. But it was weird, and unexpected and kind of neat so I'm posting it. It's my blog, I can do that kind of stuff. 

Sounds Supportive


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I bought one of their vinyls, even though I don't have a record player. A vinyl is just cooler than a CD. We wanted to support the band since they were so good and we enjoyed the show so much. I'm not sure I'm a bluegrass convert, but I'd go again. 

Every Note


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was also cool that every member got at least one "highlight moment" where the song really focused on their instrument, even the bassist who was really great. 

Mountain Music


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then the Appalachian Road Show Band took the stage and man could they play and sing. There's something happy and infectious about bluegrass, they were absolutely great.

The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway














 

My favorite of the art on display. Maybe because it was a balmy 15 degrees today.

Coleman Collection


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While we were waiting for the show to start, the art on display for this period was from former Disney artist James Coleman. 

Dinsney and Grass


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dad got us tickets to a bluegrass show at Monthaven. Not really in our wheelhouse but we're trying to do more things.

Classy Two


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day two of teaching the class. They have to split it into two sessions since the entire office can't all be training at the same time. Half one day, half the next.

Nashville Pine


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One nice thing about going downtown for the class at this time of year was getting to see the Nashville Christmas tree in person. 

Classy One


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the room where we're doing the training. Not bad, how come JIS never gets cool digs like these? 

A Blast From The Past


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in 2020 a crazy person drove his RV downtown and blew it up on Christmas Day. I'm on 2nd avenue headed to the Public Defender to help teach a class on cybersecurity and they're still working on the buildings next to where the blast was five years later.

Tugging At Heartstrings


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My yearly visit to the cardiologist for my wonky heart. All is well, though according to this chart I am not playing nearly enough tug of war.

Up Lighting


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had extra lights left over since we had a company do some of ours this year, so I went up and gave Dad's house a little Christmas cheer.
