And they say AI will be bigger.
That I whole heartedly agree with... There's just SOOO much stuff that's going on with it. I do find the correlation of Moore's Law coming to an end and AI coming into it's birth kinda crazy when you consider that we're nearing the maximization of current processing power. I think there's going to be 2 big jumps... The first round of AI that's currently being birthed, which I think will help us get to Quantum computing faster, and then there will be another big step with Quantum Computing.
Let's just hope Cyberdyne doesn't happen.

I can't tell, is that camero or a corvette? I'm going to be on the lookout for you, and not in a creepy stalkerish way. Welcome back to the Valley!

I obviously wasn't sure. Heck, I didn't even spell it correctly. Doh.

Congrats, Bone! Lovely wheels you got there. Welcome back to the Valley. I'm jealous; I wish I could move back, but I don't think that's in the cards for me now, or maybe ever. I'll always be a desert rat at heart, though. Good for you!

Thanks, man. When I laid out all the pros and cons of moving back to Arizona, the pros outweighed the cons by a ton. The biggest con being the heat of course. However, financially it made a ton of sense and it will allow me to travel and get out of the heat in the summers. Yeah, I love the desert and the plethora of climates throughout Arizona, from desert to lakes to snowy mountains.

And not too far from the ocean of you want to go there.

Now that you are in AZ you can come see me gig someplace and maybe sit in sometime. The Hamptons has a stable of bone players already but, maybe I could influence them to get you on some gig sometime. I also do a steady duo every Tuesday on the West side. No pressure. If you come I can add you to the growing list of .net members that have seem me play. In probably 30 years, you would be #3. 🤠

The Brookside II Sports Bar & Grill
15170 W Bell Rd, Unit 115, Surprise

Plenty of seating. The snowbirds left a few weeks ago and it’s down to the locals. It is amazing how much Phoenix is a tourist town. Everyone loves our winters and flock here for the warm weather during the winter. Then summer hits and they all leave including many of the locals who vacation in cooler climates. I love this time because I have much fewer gigs and have more time to have fun.

That is pretty funny.

Our anniversary was coming up and I asked the misses where she wanted to go. She said, how about someplace I’ve never been before? I said, how about the kitchen? Then she asked me to buy her a new watch. I said why? There’s a perfectly good clock on the stove.

Always remember the three rings of a marriage. The first is the engagement ring signifying the promise to marry someone. Then there is the actual wedding ring to signify you as a married person. Then comes the final ring. The suffering….

I got so drunk last night that I walked across the dance floor to get another drink and won the dance contest.

I got so drunk night before at the drive in theatre that I woke up and was part of a flea market.
