Nice old house a few blocks from me on Sacramento Street. It's got lots of trees in the back, and I imagine myself playing electric guitar on the front porch to the passing cars. Thinking of getting a telecaster. I used to play guitar - it's been a long time.

Thinking about getting another guitar after 20 years without playing one I realize I'll have a short learning curve to get back to where I was, but seriously, I'd like to make an effort to get really proficient and learn the theory of playing (pentatonic scales and modes - which connects to my interest in medieval art and music and mathematics). It would not only be a musical/art expansion of my life, but an intellectual one - which will maybe keep my aging brain sharp. I imagine painting pictures and then getting a little tired and sitting back rocking out on guitar while I contemplate my painting work, all the while pursuing knowledge, and having fun in a most exciting way. But then, the whole endeavor would cost about $500+. Eh, I'll think about it. Maybe I'll lose interest.
