4/5: I finally got a haircut and ginny destroyed our puzzle...twice

Happy April everyone! Hope you all had a nice Easter, Passover, or just a good old fashioned weekend. I was able to spend some quality time with family over the past few weeks (thank you, Pfizer and Moderna...). The sis-in-law even hooked me up with a fresh haircut (my first one since last July 😬) so I don't look like Martha Washington anymore. Anyway, here's an annoyingly cutesy picture we took on Easter, that isn't particularly flattering for any of us (except maybe Ginny). 

The Week That Was
This past week I officially wrapped up work on the first song for my upcoming EP. I'm pumped, it sounds so good. I also did a bunch of other administrative crap that would not be interesting to you. So I'll spare you that and continue to bore my wife with it instead.

The Week Ahead
Ok so I thought I was going to be editing that music video last week. But I always seem to be about a week behind what I think. So I'll be doing that this week now. Unless I end up going golfing instead because it's going to be so nice out this week...no, I shouldn't do that. But I might...? No, no I won't.

GINNY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
So since quarantine began last year, my wife and I have been doing jigsaw puzzles at night while we watch TV. Well for the last week or two we've been working on this one that is just an absolute nightmare. There's a big purple car and a driveway and all the pieces just look SO similar. So the other night we finally got almost the entire bottom of the puzzle done...

So the next day, I take Ginny for her afternoon walk and, as is custom when we come in, she starts running around the apartment like the Tasmanian Devil playing with her burger squeaky toy. In the midst of this, I go to the bathroom and come out to find....this:

The little monster JUMPED ON THE COFFEE TABLE AND WIPED OUT ALL OUR HARD WORK. You can even see the beast licking her chops in the top right corner. So I read her the riot act and spent the next hour trying to reconstruct our work. 

Fast forward to that night. Katie is in the living room, Ginny is again playing with her burger, and I'm in the kitchen getting some ice cream. Suddenly, I hear a blood curdling shriek that could stir the dead from their slumber. And what do I come out to find...? Ginny has ONCE AGAIN JUMPED ON THE DAMN TABLE AND DESTROYED THE PUZZLE. Twice in one day!!!!

So, if anyone is looking to adopt a beagle, let me know. Very affectionate. Good around other pets and children. Not good around puzzles.

​Final Thoughts
​Last week, a local legend from my hometown passed away. His name was Dimitri and he owned Dimitri's Diner. Though I didn't know him well, just about everyone in town had some experience with him in which he showed them kindness or generosity. He was the kind of person that you met once and always remembered. 

I bring this up because he was a hometown hero of sorts. Not because he saved lives or did anything extraordinary. But because he made an impact on so many people, simply by treating them well. Sometimes it feels like the world's problems are so big that it's hard to make a difference. But people like Dimitri remind us how much of an impact we can make as individuals, just by being a positive influence within our own community. People remember how you make them feel. Treat others well wherever you go and you can make a bigger impact than you may even realize. You don't have to change the world, you just have to do your part.

Catch you guys next week.
