SLR came over and we rehearsed, for about 3 hours…then she and her whatever he is (Tom) and I and my “roommie” went to Dinner…I think Dianne had a fairly good time…I think she also had a good time at the flea Market we went to in the morning…SLR told her about a huge flea […]
ON A MORNING LIKE THIS On a morning that could easily have been just like any other, we awoke before dawn, before the birds’ symphony, before we even had a chance to hear their morning song. The pre-dawn darkness that met our steps didn’t deter our resolve as we silently got our things together and […]
I didn’t see it…it said I MUST have a vehicle in order to serve as an Election Judge…For the umteenhundreth time, the “roommie” came to my rescue…the training class was today; three hours…If I had wheels, I would still stay home…Besides, I gotta get up and go to work JUST to get the paycheck and […]

the acoustic trio (MSR) reminds me of CSN…there was an onstage flair up at the gig yesterday–somewhat subtle but still not very professional…the person who erupted was ME…Personally I think Rick’s hearing might be as bad as mine; he (like me) gets cranky if he can’t hear himself…Just about all *I* heard (guitar-wise) was Rick…I […]
JUST THANKS When I was young I used to think I was indestructible, or so I thought, that I’d never get old; I’d be like Peter Pan and live forever with the Lost Boys within the realms of Never-Never land. I just knew it way down deep inside that I’d always be a kid, that […]
