I love Plutonium

So says Mr. Aligator in his return to my posts. I hope he doesn't have any plans for it. We might have to go BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!
So, a few things to mention. First, my jump to my new and fancy website is taking a bit longer than I originally thought. Such is the way of things. I've love to take a whole afternoon to get it up and running, but that would require being ahead on all of my other work. And that is a funny thought.
Well, not so much funny as awesome, and not funny in a haha way so much as funny in a "like that is going to happen way." Yes.
Also, Fiddler's has come an gone again. But there are a few things of note to mention this year, out of the ordinary from other years.
First, the given things:
1) It was awesome, relaxing, and recharging.
2) The weather was amazing.
3) My fingers hurt like holy crap for the week following it from all the jamming. What a lovely pain to have.

And now, the out-of-the-ordinary:
1) Will, Meghan, Liam, and Liz all made it from various places around the country this year. The older I get, the more seeing family is my favorite part of Fiddler's. Still, Peeg, Stacy, and Nick were all missed.
2) The judges apparently drank a lot before Old Time Singing, because I won fourth place. Will backed me up with some fancy finger pickin', and the train rumbled through as I sang "Railroad Bill." As a Chandler, I had to say something about the fact that the railroad was rumbling by while I sang about it. I think that this "cheek" is what got me a place. Still, I got $25, a blue ribbon, and an awesome surprise.
3) I passed on the Harmonica to a new generation of Chandlers. Actually, to a Chandler. Liam got one of my old Honer's. Since then he has played for me on the phone. He is already better than me. Hooray!

Ok, so my post is being cut short by a service call. I must away!

I hope everyone is well!
Peace,
Joe
