guess I was wrong--again...

                         MONDAY 5/7/18 11:05PM--the "meeting" with Larry and Todd went better than I thought it would, although I had trouble getting to Larry's house...that didn't surprise me at all...I even had a teeny bit of trouble getting home FROM Larry's...I'm cautiously optimistic regarding my Musical future...

TUESDAY 5/8/18 4:30PM--I began my period of focusing on songwriting by printing out the last lyrics I wrote...I dictated the words from memory into the PAGES app on my phone...maybe I saved some time, maybe I didn't...I might work on a new song while I'm sitting here watching Dianne watch tv...and/or I'll go downstairs and work on assembling the SONGS folder..maybe some of my older songs are salvageable... I'm looking forward (a bit more than usual) to going to the IPO open mic, so I can listen to the songwriters more closely than usual...I'm thinking that just maybe I shouldn't try so hard to write lyrics that are unusual or uncommon...maybe after Dinner I'll start working on that stuff...

9:52PM--it has taken a long long time, but I have the lyrics to the most recent song I've finished on file in the laptop...the song is roughly two years old...I hope to work on the latest one tomorrow--I've already kinda started it...I'm not sure I can or want to finish it, but we'll know more tomorrow...

WEDNESDAY--I went looking for a specific song (The Thresher) that I wrote years ago, and of course I can't find it...It's not a love song of any kind...I dunno for sure, but I'm telling myself it was a damn good one...it was about a forgotten historical event...I bet if I give up looking for it, THEN I'll find it...I don't think there's ANY way I can remember it beyond the first line or two...

3:17PM--actually, I WAS able to remember some of it...and I started another one, but that didn't last long...I'll likely go out tonight, whether Dianne does or not...

5:27PM--I'm going to the IPO tonight, but I wanna someday go to JV's in Arlington...Andy goes there...if a certain friend of mine wasn't (supposedly) going to IPO tonight, I would (possibly) go to Arlington instead...
