What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

Gadamighty, it has been a week. I am exhausted. Monday I got lost not once but twice trying to find my orientation session for my new job. This meant wandering around, on foot, for more than 5 miles in D.C. in 80-plus degree weather wearing my tie and carrying my blazer. I finally arrived -- soaked through with sweat, my hair a mess, and smelly. I arrived about an hour and a half late. It then took another 30 minutes before anyone came down to escort me to the session (I hadn't been "badged" yet.)

Fortunately, they canceled our formal portrait session that day because the photog was out. Unfortunately, at the next day's session, we got caught in a downpour on the way back from lunch, and I was soaked through to the bone, my hair was all messed up, and I was feeling far from the confident person I am. All of this, of course, is captured in the formal portrait. I'm sure the camera stole part of my soul, too.

One positive -- I'm taking the MARC train, which is a dream. I can sit back and nod off or read or just stare out the window and let someone else do the driving. And it's fast, easy, and comfortable.

Anyway, things went better after those first two days, although those first two days took a lot out of me. I felt like a papery ghost the rest of the week.

AND THEN, I was feeling really good about catching an early, fast train and making it home before 6 last night -- only to find I'd left my house keys at work. And my wife was not yet home. So, sat on the stoop for a half an hour.

Do you wonder why I call myself Worried Man? It's stuff like this. It happens to me.

Anyway, I think I'll play a little something about control. In fact, I think I'll play Janet Jackson's CONTROL.

So... how have y'all been anyway? ;)
That...Is a messed up day
 
100% generational, I agree. Just as my mother thought Englebert and Liberace were great and couldn't stand my Black Sabbath. I'll say this: I can't find a way to appreciate a lot of today's music, be it rap or what so brazenly passes itself off as "country". Have I tried? Not very hard. If it doesn't pique my interest fairly fast I'm on to something else that does. And that's ok..."if it don't apply, let it fly".
I have to agree with you on one point in particular. There is just way too much good music to explore to beat yourself up trying to convince yourself to like something for which you simply don't care. If it doesn't float your boat...move on. As far a a "generational thing" is concerned, I'm not quite sure. There are mellinials that are Beatles fans, and old rappers as well. It's like the old "which was the best group" argument, Beatles, the Stones, the Who... I don't get it (and don't care), but I don't have to. There are those who don't even care for music at all! Music is personal to each of us and completely subjective. This group excels in it's tolerance of all forms and genres. I think there is only one thing that we would ALL agree upon, and that is, YOKO SUCKS!!! :rflmao::rflmao::rflmao:
 
Mornin all!
breaking in my newest acquisition .. EPI 200B speakers. New surrounds 2 years ago but only played a couple hrs till I got em.

Hi there! How's Pensacola today? I was there two years ago for a business trip. It was a quick trip so I did not have much time to look around. Seemed nice for what little I did see.
It is hot and muggy (shocker there, huh?) We love it here though. We live on an island and have access to a private beach and pier with boats year 'round. All our neighbors have fur. We particularly love the red foxes. We came from Dallas about 13-14 yrs ago and you couldn't pay me enough to go back. This is my little girlfriend...
