In the past week, I tried eating and drinking the junk foods I ate and drank for years, and it's not the same. Doesn't taste real good, and while it's not making me sick, I feel better when I don't consume them. I've kept off the nearly 20 pounds I dropped after July 5.
Took a route to TP today that I hadn't tried before. At one point south of Quakertown, I wound up in a long line waiting for a flagman to wave us through. The drive was about the same length as the one I normally take, but took nearly twice as long. OK, that route's one and done. Lots of traffic and low speed limits.
Drum practice has slipped recent days. I was going along with a structure of 5-10 minute warmup, 10-15 minutes of rudiment practice, and 5-10 minutes of playing with songs. Starting to think that the rudiment practice is for people who are young and want the full well-rounded learning experience because they intend to do something serious with that knowledge. Whereas I'm not young and don't care for rudiments any more than I cared for scales on the other instruments I did a half-assed job of studying. I'm almost done with the double-stroke roll section of the Drumeo Method, and that may be where I stop, in favor of searching songs and watching YouTube videos of drummers playing those songs.
