Met with another dog owner that&#8217;s a regular there.  And a couple other folks.  Took a pic a golden hour pic of the wood post of the deck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Went to a guitar festival hosted by a local luthier.  And I bumped into the president of the company for my first job.  It&#8217;s a job I&#8217;m not proud of.  I was suffering from PTSD those years and didn&#8217;t handle it well.  I got to share that with him.  It felt good, kind of like AA&#8217;s making amends type of thing.  We got to catch up on what we are up to these days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book club meeting.  It was my second time meeting this book club.  I didn&#8217;t really like the book, but it was fun meeting new people and sharing a passion with them.  Look forward to doing it again next month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saw a DJ setting up at a club.  Someone I recognized from my walk last week.  I talked with him because he was wearing an MTV T-shirt.  He remembered me and asked about my open mic performances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On a walk I met two neighbors I&#8217;ve never talked to.   One has two kids and two dogs, loves to garden.  The other is a competitive cyclist.  I tried to share common interests with them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At then end of the day, I don&#8217;t feel like I did all that much.  But when I look at it written down, it sure is a heck of a lot more than what my typical day used to look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WoodPost-771x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WoodPost-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WoodPost-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WoodPost-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WoodPost-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WoodPost-1542x2048.jpg 1542w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WoodPost-scaled.jpg 1928w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a good day to work on getting myself out there and strengthinging my network: At then end of the day, I don&#8217;t feel like I did all that much.
