Creative Work Report: Compiling historic photos for a two-part video was more interesting than loading the images into the video app and setting the duration times for each. I've got one video done and hope to finish the other this evening.

Creative Work Report: Taking the time to fix glitches in the audio for my next video. It doesn't have to be perfect but it has to be as good as I can make it. I don't like to insult people by offering them substandard work.

Today's featured instrumentalist is Peggy Gilbert.

I agree.

Creative Work Report: Yesterday our neighbors were doing a porch renovation which involved a loud angle grinder. But either one wants to write or one does not, so I just kept grinding away at my own project.

Creative Work Report: Managed to find and edit out the problem part of the audio for my next video, the section where the kitchen timer can be heard beeping and I say, "Oh, sh*t," and you hear me getting up to go shut it off.
