I played my #piano today, again! I'm at #Day5 of trying to play everyday even if it's just for 15 minutes.
Spent 30 minutes playing random bits of songs and more time with, Let It Be.
I have certain bits memorized already and can play without the sheet music for those parts.
Look at me go...heh. 🎹

I left home with $25 in cash, for drinks, and the casino gave me $26 to gamble with.
Paid for all our drinks with cash. Came out to find a cab waiting, so we just hopped right in, paid him in cash.
Tipped generously, I'm home still have $300 left. Roulette was good to me this evening, lol.

At The Wolastoq Casino ringing in the New Year! So far I'm up $235 at the roulette table and we have been having a blast!
This may be #Fredericton's Best New Years Eve Party!

I'm tired. Just want to sit, do nothing but we have plans to go out tonight. We even have tickets.
I really don't want to play my #piano today.
I know if I go out, I won't play when I get home. So I sat and played.
Getting closer to being able to play my first song. #Day4 #StayingHonest 🎹

I have let this gather dust in the guest bedroom for too long!
It's now back in the living room where it will remind me to play everyday.
Feel free to ask me if I've played piano every day of 2026 to help me keep playing!

On tonight's menu was something I loved at #TheOldSpaghettiFactory on the West Coast.
Homemade #pasta with #BrownedButter and #MizithraCheese.
It was every bit as good as I remember, especially because I went heavy on the browned butter and the mizithra cheese. 🍜🍽️

Never shit on someone's joy. Don't be the reason people don't share their joy with the world.
Joy is a light shared.
Whatever you do to celebrate. Whatever brings you joy while doing so. Thank you for the light you add to all of us.
Shine on you crazy diamonds!

I'm so excited about tonight's supper! I lived in Vancouver (20 years), and Victoria (5 years), and it's hard to not eat at #TheOldSpaghettiFactory.
I fell in love with their #Pasta with #BrownButter and #MizithraCheese.
I found the cheese! Pasta dough is made! Butter will be browned!
I can't wait!

I had some time to burn today so I wandered into the local casino. Decided to waste $10 playing roulette. I cashed out at $35, so I bought myself a negroni and called it a good afternoon!

Do I have any #piano people in my feed? Or anyone that really wants to learn how to play one?
I really want to learn how to play. I bought a Roland FP-30X.
Any advice or help on how I can learn to play?

I can just see me on one of those, You Need To Eat Something Gross, shows.
Host: First up! You need to eat a spider!
Me: Done!
Host: That was just some random spider. You need to eat this tarantula!
Me: *burps in satisfaction*
Host: We haven't even started yet!
Me: Well bring me another one, then.

Since I've been sick and haven't had much to do, I downloaded, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, on to my xBox.
Haven't played much but I can already see why it won Game of the Year for 2025.

I have been home sick from work for 3 days now!
I have all the symptoms, name one, I've got it. I'm winning at being really sick.
How do I know I'm really sick? I'm literally drinking shot glasses full of #Buckley's and I like the taste.

It's definitely #winter in the #Maritimes. It's cold, windy, and there is snow in the ground.
Just the weather for a hot eggnog and rum, with some fresh nutmeg ground on top.
In this case it's #Northumberland eggnog and #SpicedRum from #BlackGalleyDistilling.
A warm NB hug!

I don't go to WalMart very often but a 6.5kg whole turkey for $25 was something I couldn't say no to.
Brined, spatchcocked, then rubbed with salt, pepper, allspice, sage, and thyme.
Into the oven at 425 for 30 minutes to start. 🍜🍽️
