What's going on

I've not posted on here or my other blog in ages. I came here in a moment of reflection based on the fact that I recently went through my 21st soberversary. 21 years!  One day at a time which I learnt early on.  Anyways. What's going on?  I've become a Grandad.  My daughter gave us our first granddaughter on my birthday last year. Best birthday present ever and my daughter-in-law the produced our second on Christmas Day. Best Christmas present ever.  I'm in a jam band with some other old foggies. It's good fun we meet in a studio one guy built in an old garage and it's all through headphones so "silent stage" essentially.  Which works well for me with my terrible hearing now. I wear hearing aids in both ears the left being profoundly deaf now and almost useless.  Awaiting delivery of parts due a new guitar build which I may film - I don't know.  Anyway to anyone reading this - Hello.
