Random stuff

I wrote a second song, this time an instrumental. My guitar teacher and I really deconstructed it, going over what worked what didn't, and why. I learned a ton about music and songwriting from this. It was revelatory. And loads of fun to boot.

My primary care physician has some concerns about my health, so he wants me to get a cardiac stress test and a pulmonary function test. I've already met with the cardiologist for the preliminaries. he seems like a great guy. I hope my bum knee can hold out for the cardio stress test. :)

In an odd turn of events, I'm giving a lecture to the local magic group. I know. I don't know how it happened either. I think someone drugged my drink. I'll be speaking on the life and times of Theodore John Squires/Ted Anneman/Ted Annemann. The man had more names than I have health issues.

I now have more responsibilities at work, and it's stuff I enjoy doing. Now if it just meant more pay...
