For dinner Ana, mom, and I go for sushi at Fuji Yama near Shore Drive. Enjoying Tempura, Miso Soup, and Sushi Rolls.

There was a shooting over at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center – 13 dead – a disgruntled public works employee went on a rampage. It’s sad and terrible news. With it being right in our backyard makes the whole gun topic more real.

Later, at the studio practicing songs with Ana and packing up.

Back home. Mom made dinner with leftovers: Black Beans, Onions, Corn on the Cob, Asparagus, and Quinoa.

At Ladada rehearsal with the boys. Ana, Jordan, and Jonnie just finished up Community Witch practice. At some point all of us get caught up in conversation and Josiah flips out on the microphone yelling as loudly as possible in reaction to us not paying attention to a “story” he was trying to tell us. It’s a strange moment catching us all off guard. Recently, he acquired a new job at a thrift store working long hard labor hours. Later, he apologizes and we get on with band practice.

Sleep 3:30 a.m.
