Default OK people here is an example of the wacky world we live in.....

It's 10:30 at night on January 11th in Buffalo, New York......

And I'm sitting outside on my patio playing my guitar with a sweater and a favorite beer.

Whaaa?!?! Are you not buried in snow? I am in front of the wood burning insert, in 10 degree weather outside (lots of snow), but cozy inside with my pup, my microbrew, my guitar, college basketball on in the background, and husband soon to join me for a complete evening. 😍

Meanwhile......... in this neck of the woods, Sydney, Australia, I have been on holidays and fluctuating between snorkelling, feeding octopus, discovering different species of crawling brittle starfish, or catching some waves and then returning home to sit on the back step trying to learn some new songs before getting too hot and walking back to the water.

Wherever you are in the world isn't it great you can find some fun, with a guitar, in any sort of weather.

Enjoy playing today folks, its good to be alive.

Today it was 64 here in the SouthEast. Pretty crazy! Last weekend it got down to 9 on Saturday night.

Keep it that way for a few weeks, OK? I'm through Buffalo and Niagara in early Feb.

Well here in the Midwest this morning it's 63 deg. Tonight it's supposed to be in the mid 20's. Strange days indeed.

It's 10:30 at night on January 12th in Canberrra, Australia......

And I'm sitting outside on my patio playing my guitar in a singlet, shorts and a favorite beer & it's still 30 degrees out here (Celsius that is & a couple degrees cooler than it is in the house)

Seems perfectly normal to me fazool , though I might change my mind if we're still playing this game 6 months from now.

Here in Iowa it's been cold for two weeks. Below 30 degrees with the wind blowing and overcast. We don't have much snow. This is not unusual but the last two winters have been pretty easy. It'll change soon. It always does.
