I know no one reads this

No one reads this. And that is OK. I feel like I want things to be read, but then I realize, "it doesn't really matter" because the whole point of journaling is for me, not others.

But still, the old BBS guy in me wants some feedback. So instead of making this a long drawn out entry, I'll simply lay out a few things that are going on in my life.

• My youngest boy turned 19 a couple days ago. Hard to believe. He is moving into a new house on the campus he goes to school and works at. My little man is a man now.
• Tomorrow I got invited by a bandmate who is like my older brother to go see Buddy Guy. I've never seen him, but he is 90 and still touring. The last standing bluesman of his generation. I would be remiss to not go.
• Decided to change my major at school from American History to Ancient and Classical History. The main reasons are that there are a couple classes in American history I really have no interest in and see them as adding zero value to my degree (personally, I feel like they are "you have to take these so we can get woke money from woke sponsors").. The calsses int he other coursework are all things that interest me and avoids taking something I have zero interest in.
• This changes my research project, but I think I have a good start on what my thesis will be and have already started researching primary/secondary sources.
• Decided I want to totally rework my personal website for my novels, short-stories, historical fiction, and added historiography and mythology to the site. Still working on it, but like what I am seeing so far.
• Considering joining a band playing bass. I've been getting really burnt out over the years being the guy in charge and just showing up to a gig, grooving to the music without any concern of all the work that happens at the end of the night is... liberating...
• It has been stupid hot here the past month. I'm ready for summer to be over and for fall to get here. Really...

And on a last note, two words: fucking gnats!
