I'm off to Ecuador again at the beginning of August. It'll be the official start of our project there. I'll be in Ecuador for two weeks this time.

I bought a new g-string yesterday. No, Maddy, not THAT kind of g-string. I bought a new g-string...well...a whole new set of strings for my guitar. The strings I had were too light and sounded tinny. So I got the heaviest gauge they had. As I was stringing my Fender, I noticed that for every string that I tuned up, all the others de-tuned. Then I looked back at the bridge and saw that the tailpiece was almost ripped right out of its slot. Bugger!! I guess it's a function of heavy gauge strings, but that doesn't happen on a Fender. So I opened up the back and made some adjustments. That seems to have done the trick.

I love my Fender - Simone, I call her. I named it after a red headed stripper I once met in Ottawa. It's a long story. That may be another entry some day.

I revised my resume yesterday. I'm gonna apply for another job today.

OK! You asleep yet? This is probably theee most boring entry on the web. But this is a diary and a diary's supposed to reflect your life. Right?

Say no more, eh?
