My life is almost devoid of routine. This is my attempt to capture the strangeness of my days.

Victor Wooten simply jams.
After a crazy morning working an outage in Kansas which
turned out to be a wiring issue, then setting up a test network in a
lab in OP, followed by a truck taking out two poles which held fiber and power for a section of KCK,
then a very brief lunch, followed by the writing of make-work procedure
documents, I got an unexpected Tuesday afternoon call asking me to
play hockey at the last minute. It was unexpected because I had not
emailed Ric to volunteer, because I had concert tickets. Oh, well. I
would rather have not known about the ice time opportunity. I chose
correctly. We ate at Mad Greek, which is my favorite Lawrence
restaurant. Plus, Victor Wooten is still probably the best electric
bass
player alive, if not the fastest. Tonight, I was trying to imagine
seeing Victor Wooten play with Dick Dale, since I've now seen them both
recently and they both play very fast. I got a late start on my
midnight maintenance due to the Soul Circus show ending at midnight and
the drive time back from Lawrence. Milwaukee Mike stayed up after his
network maintenance to verify my work. I'm finally crashing. I hope the
phone doesn't ring too early. The siding dudes are supposed to begin
work on one of my houses in the morning. I suspect I'll get 3 hours of
sleep before they start calling. The benefit this week is that I'm
on-call Thursday and Friday, so no office hours. I can nap during the
day, theoretically. I hope the holiday weekend is quiet on the
work front. It's possible, but the odds are slim.
