You would think that writing technical manuals would be boring. Most of the time I think so too, except when I'm actually doing it, when the challenge of explaining complex things clearly gives me joy. I guess that's why I do it. And I have been doing it all week, which is why I've hardly written anything here.

Something else I did was play a show for a group of 75 or so periodontists with my band, The Neurotics. Both of our usual bass players were unavailable, so we recruited Doug Elliott (a.k.a. Don G. Swinger). Fifteen years ago, he was in the Dawn Patrol, the house band at The Roxy here in Vancouver that inspired me to get into playing music in the first place. Later that band turned into The Odds, one of my favourite groups. It was fun to play a gig with him. He even had his own wig.
