I've been suffering from high blood pressure for many years. Not a severe one, mind you, but various physicians have advised me to follow a treatment. Three months of this medication for now and then we'll see. Hope it'll work...
Musician!
Once a musician always a musician!
I don't remember the moment I feel in love with music...but I did and the love affair is still going on to this day. I know my father introduced me to music. He did it in the way music enthusiast do. There's so much pride and pageantry to it. Almost like you're about to be allowed into an exclusive club. He sat me down, put on a pair of oversized earphones on my head and proceeded to tell me the whos and whats. And then the curtain started to part.
Behind the curtain there's lots of records/CDs, lots of concert ticket stubs and memories....and snobitude. I know that's not a word...and yet you know what I"m talking about! :o)
An ex once told me that I was a music snob in a middle of a conversation. I remembered looking at him and smiling and saying, "yeah...and?" hahaha...
But I think I'm allowed to have so much passion for music. I mean...I am a musician. I may not practice my clarinets every day...or every year for that matter....but tonight after I took this picture...I played for about an hour. Just like riding a bike. If that bike was the same bike you rode for 7 years straight. :o)
I know they may appear to look like three of exactly the same thing..but they are all three very different and for three different uses. :o)

I like to joke that I was born in completely the wrong era. I love jazz and blues and very gritty music. Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Etta James, Ray Charles, etc.
That's not to say I don't appreciate today's music, I just really enjoy the SOUL of jazz.
* I used two photos for inspiration here. I was was going to try to use the first as my sole inspiration, but it just wasn't working right- this style of light was too flat, I couldn't dig it. So I decided to use the second photo as a second reference.
This is part of my ABC set. "M" is for "Miles Davis," "music," and "muse".
FAFM - Day #13 - "M" is for... Music
One of the first books of sheet music I ever had for piano lessons when I was a kid. My Mom was taking piano lessons at the same time so we shared it and would practice together. She loved these songs from the "Sound of Music."

...A Macro of a Microphone...used to sing music by Madonna, Meatloaf, and Me! Mostly on a karaoke Machine!
This is the microphone from my karaoke machine. I've had it for a few years now, but I don't use it much anymore because I don't want to bug my brother. I look forward to having my own place so I can rock the karaoke again...

Random Fact: I sang karaoke on my honeymoon and because known as Gloria Gaynor for the rest of the trip by some on the resort. I actually had people stop me and ask me if it was me who sang and told me that I was awesome.
Driving up to Solihull for Roy's funeral, spotted this on our way in for a comfort break and coffee.
I would love to win the prize on the side of the cup. I did win a disposable camera years ago in a Coke contest. In that one, you had to be spotted buying Coke. My sister and friend saw the guy and got spooked. I realized he was the Coke guy and took some Coke to get a prize. I still have the camera, never to have been used.
Especially poignant, as it turns out that while I was taking this photo my father-in-law was undergoing emergency heart surgery after a heart attack.
Those of you who are inclined to pray, please pray for a speedy recovery and dedication to lifestyle changes.
Yes, I am a scrapbooker... just haven't gotten around to doing any of it recently!
At the end of January last year this what the crescent moon looked like as it was setting. I was told the nearby planet was Venus. I am hoping the moon will look the same tonight. P1060313

...Me singing Music with My Microphone.
Here I am singing a variety of music today. At least one of them was Madonna's Like a Virgin, at least one was the RickRoll song, and at least one was Pour Some Sugar on Me. (The Sugar song is the bottom right one...)
Random Fact: I love a wide variety of music, but I have a soft spot for 80's music.

M is for Making More of Mac's Muffins in the Mixer
My friend Mac posted a banana muffin recipe on her excellent food blog Reactive Cooking and they looked so good I thought I'd give them a go. I made some on Saturday morning.
I made some more tonight - yum, yum and more yum.
In case you are wondering - this is how they look when they are cooked.
A year ago today I posed with Thunderace Three
I go the prompt wrong today. I thought m is for... the statement was really MISFOR.. the prefix, PAD#233
A triptych done on paper as commission for a friend (called Tom). It took us a while to get some photo's but at least we got them now!
We went out to Jersey on Saturday for my great-aunt's 75th birthday party. It was a really nice day spent with family I don't see often and some family I haven't seen in 10 years.

Strobist;
This was about -2 or -3ev ambient light and I put an Alien Bees B-800 studio light about 60-degrees camera left aimed at the subject with a 10-degree grid to keep the light from falling on the background. It was fired with a Cactus-V4 wireless trigger and set at 1/16-power about 5-ft away.
This image was processed through NIK Software Silver Efex Pro. This made it very easy to apply some special filter effects in the B&W conversion, add a border vignette and it is also responsible for adding the “grain” effect too.

In my #AtoZofphotography, M is for Macro. Macro photography is extreme close-up photography, often of very small objects, where the subject is pictured larger than life-size.

M is for... Mountain.
I love living in Vermont. There is something about being here that just makes me feel happy. I remember many a time driving out of town and just crossing the border back to Vermont made me feel better. Not to say that other places aren't beautiful and peaceful, but I can't help, but love my home state's beautiful geography.
This is one mountain that kept catching my eye on my way to play Rock Band, watch Wonderfalls, and eat dinner with friends.
It's also a photomerge shot.
Random Fact: Wonderfalls was a great show, I had never seen it before today, but I really enjoyed it. It's too bad that Fox doesn't know good shows when they have them.
This map, actually, was pretty easy to read. The bus maps and routes and times--didn't make any sense.
It being Friday the 13th, Karna kept asking what unlucky thing was going happen. The plane trip was fine, getting into the city was fine, the bus ride out to the hostel was a disaster. The driver didn't know the route and passengers were giving him directions. I thought we were going to get lost in Seattle. But we made it.
I've got some of my pictures from Seattle posted here. I have a few more to still post. Some are more interesting than others; I tried not to post them all like that crazy aunt that travels all the time and makes you sit through her slide shows.
February Alphabet Fun: M is for...

"Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by.
Hoping that he's bid for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly.
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside "

This kind of plays in with picture 3/365. Just been thinking a lot about the future lately and what lies beyond this fenced-in place I call home.
The only thing Jean Honeychurch hates more than her boring name (not Jean Marie, or Jeanette, just . . . Jean) is her all-too-appropriate nickname, Jinx. Misfor-tune seems to follow her everywhere she goes—which is why she's thrilled to be moving in with her aunt and uncle in New York City. Maybe when she's halfway across the country, Jinx can finally outrun her bad luck. Or at least escape the havoc she's caused back in her small hometown.
But trouble has definitely followed Jinx to New York. And it's causing big problems for her cousin Tory, who is not happy to have the family black sheep around. Beautiful, glamorous Tory is hiding a dangerous secret—one that she's sure Jinx is going to reveal.
Jinx is beginning to realize it isn't just bad luck she's been running from. It's something far more sinister . . . and the curse Jinx has lived under since the day she was born might just be the only thing that can save her life.
