I’ve noticed that the older I get the more of my friends are musicians and artists.
I guess this is because I’m running in those circles now after getting into the musical world myself about seven years ago, when I started drumming on the streets in the big city. I have always been a singer, singing to myself or sometimes to friends, so it’s been in my blood for a long time. I am just now bringing it to the forefront of my daily life and it’s led me to meet some interesting characters. The HVAC company where I work also has some interesting characters who fill my life with color and humor. I still need a lot more practice on the drums to where I am comfortable playing them while I sing. Ideally I work doing HVAC equipment and technology writing during the day and play sports or music at night. I can’t play every night but I would like to do maybe five nights a week of either one. I do need a couple days of rest each week and maybe even cleaning my own HVAC system when it is ready for it. I am usually good with remembering to clean my HEPA filter as I have an app on my phone which reminds me to do so. I need to get a smart thermostat so it will alert me when it needs to be cleaned and just get rid of this cell phone once and for all. I already keep it at home when I leave the house.
