Lesson of the day: Don’t leave your ukulele sitting next to your work desk. It’s impossible not to pick up and it’s been in my hands more often than not today. I’ve been teaching myself finger style (rather than just chord strumming like what seems to be the most common method for ukulele playing). It’ll be a long row to hoe to get to where I want to be, but so far so good and lots of fun.<\/p>\n

\nOther goings-on: I’m working on the cover art for art & literary journal The Lantern this week (I’ll probably not post pics until it comes out in March), and next week I’ll be starting on the cover art for new CD & LP from Maria The Mexican out of Kansas City. <\/p>\n

I’m also prepping for the impending ‘monster snowstorm’ due to hit this evening. I suppose if I actually had to leave my house, I might not be as excited about it as I am. I have extra appreciation for getting to work from home at times like these. I even hit the grocery store this morning to stock up on oranges and chocolates (survival foods).
