Lunch:
I'm going out for lunch so it'll be something fast-food within walking distance. Probably a foot long meatball sub from SubWay. Lots of banana peppers, jalapenos, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo/salt/pepper. That'll suit me for the day.

G&L Topic:
What finish is on the last G&L guitar you played?
I played my Amber burst Comanche last night for a while, so my answer is Amber Burst.
Followup question: How long did you play for?
I only played for about 15 or 20 minutes. I keep a couple of guitars in the living room to pull up and play as I wander around the house. So I typically play every day, about an hour or so, but only in little spurts of about 20 minutes here and there.

Music:
What is the next "big" concert you're going to:
For me, I'm taking my daughter's to see 21 Pilots in May. They're not a guitar band, but I've come to really like their stuff, and it's an opportunity to take my older kids out for a night with their old dad.
Unrelated secondary music question: How often are you jamming with other musicians?
I play at church almost every week. We have some very talented musicians in the church, and mix it up. We have a great deal of fun, and I really enjoy getting to play each week with other musicians. I've been in a few bands in the past, like most of the musicians in our church, but I'm not in a band anymore, and so this becomes my weekly "musical fun". It also gives me a good excuse.... er ... reason to continue adding to my GAS induced collection...

Non Music Topic:
Local weather and events
When I was a lad, we used to walk to school in snow suits because you could literally hear your spit crackle as it froze before hitting the ground. (Life is fun in Canada). Not every day in winter was that cold, but every Canadian winter has days like that. This winter has been colder than most, and there's a lot of snow to go with that. So today when I left home and it was only -20 C or so (-4 F), which is warm enough that a Canadian doesn't even bother buttoning up his or her coat. Now it's positively warm out there, with a current temp of -11 C (12 F) - I don't even need mitts.
We have a local festival in my home town that runs annually at this time - a celebration of the "voyageurs" - i.e. those same fur traders and explorers who originally paved the way for European settlers to immigrate to this land. The culture of this exploration was predominantly French and Metis, and so the festival celebrates the food, music and culture of these early settlers by dressing in costume, and having various related activities through out the week or so that it runs. I mention the snow sculptures because for the past several years, the weather is usually cold enough at the start of the festival to support snow sculptures, but often by the end of the festival - the sculptures are soot covered lumps leaving their original likeness dirty and inscrutable.

How about everyone else? What's your Friday (or whatever day you are reading this) looking like?
