Gaming Blog – The Shockwave Spark

Wow, things are nuts around here! Will and I can barely keep up with the customers… we really didn’t expect the store to have such a loyal following after just a few short weeks. If things stay so busy, we may have to recruit one of the kids to start helping out after school and on weekends. Safi, darling, if you’re reading this, here’s lookin’ at you kid

I know I shouldn’t complain. As Grettle reminded us last night after a particularly busy day, we’d be way more stressed out if nobody liked our jam. But with everything going on in the store, it’s sometimes hard to keep it all straight. But being experienced parents has served us well in at least one regard: Keeping our hands clean.

As all you moms and dads out there know, sticky hands are a fact of life… and so is washing them. Picking fruit, chopping wood and painting pots means keeping our hands clean for cooking is an absolute priority! I find that getting into the habit of washing up regularly helps, whether they need it or not.

Anyway, there is one thing I’m really excited about lately despite all the chaos around here: I’ve been able to get plenty of good guitar time in. I try and sit out on the porch every night, rain or shine, while the kids and Will tidy up after dinner. For me, there’s no better way to unwind after a day of sticky hands, fussy stoves and long lines. Today one of our customers even asked me to play a tune for her! Will thinks I’m getting quite a reputation around here.

Gives new meaning to the term “jam session,” doesn’t it?
