Later today we lay my Dad to rest. When I was a kid he would push me around in a pram, would pick me up when I would fall - at one time even leaping a wall, at age 60, to pick me up on the other side. He was, is, and always will be, my hero. Love you Dad. Sleep well.

A few bum notes here and there, but still chuffed with this as a warm-up. This was also my first shot at screamed vocals in a long, long time. In other news, Therapy: Day 2 was today. It was alright. Still a long road ahead, but that's just plenty of time to improve on vocals.

Here's a little something about my suit from yesterday; It's black, and slim-fit. I went with a black shirt, rather than white, which is very "me." The problem is that with my longer hair, and being chonky after lockdown, I looked like a fat John Wick. John Thick, if you will.
