Day 5

Got on the scale this morning, up a half pound. Arrgh.... Must have been the increased water consumption?

Heard something interesting on the radio this morning from somethingyoushouldknow.net, exercising makes you hungry. Eating less makes you lose weight. Most of us tie the two together and assume that any weight loss regiment must include exercise.

Discussed The Daily Ukulele book at our jam last night. Only our group leader was not interested, several others already have the book and are using it. One guy got the book shortly after getting his uke a year ago and was intimidated by it, which I find odd because many of the songs we play are written in "short hand" and are also in the book. Bottom line, our jam session host CGS Music will be ordering 6 copies for the 6 people that want the book (including the leader who later changed his mind). Folks were talking about ordering it online, I pointed out it would be nice to support Bob since he stays open late allowing us to play there twice a month. People decided to pay full price and support Bob. Keeping some money local, and a sign of support for our host. Yeah!

  1. I commend you all on supporting your local suppliers. I always try to do that, when ever I can, because I appreciate that they are there, and want them to stay.

  2. yes- if Bob is giving you his place and staying open-- he should be supported. My problem with many of the songs in the daily ukulele are all of these sustain chords- but really, the problem is not the book- I just have to dedicate myself to learning those chords.
