Barre Chords

One of the things that seems to make playing guitar so difficult is this strange contortion of fingering known as the barre chord.

Basically, to play one of these things, you lay your index finger across the neck of the guitar, depressing all of the strings against that fret.  At the same time, your other fingers are pressing strings to the board in order to get an actual chord, since all of the strings at the same fret do not a chord make.  (Why???  I don't know...)

Naming Names

I want those pictures, dammit.

I actually put some effort forth this morning between my card-playing rules tornado of daymares, my philosophy homework, and actual work to track down the web site of my roommate from college. 

Global Discovery - San Antonio

I have been going on about Global Discovery/Global Advantage since we bought into it in October, but this is our first try at getting the system to work.

My mom recently expressed an interest in going to Texas to see the Alamo.  She was going to use her timeshare (an efficiency in the Poconos) to go down, but I suggested that we could use our Global Discovery membership this year, upgrade to a two-bedroom, and we could all go.  Everyone seemed into it.
