conceited AND humble

So MSR got their 15 minutes of Fame–literally, at the Toys for Tots benefit…Every act got about 15 minutes, more or less…Two people I didn’t know liked us; People ya kinda know (or yer friends) just might say what they think you wanna hear…*I* think we sounded pretty good though, a “9” on a scale […]

you’re gonna do WHAT ?!?!?

Thanks again to the generosity of my “roomie” I THINK I can drive to work on Sunday morning…I have to be back before 11AM…In order to meet that deadline, I’m gonna get up at 4AM (on a day when I don’t have to) and go to Tenleytown…I’m gonna do…er, uh, a certain amount of stuff, […]

it woulda been nice I think

up until today, I was ambivalent about keeping the job at the arts and crafts store…I‘ve gone from thinking I wouldn’t be there after Xmas to thinking I would be–and happy about it…And then the Manager snapped at me today…Me and a bunch of co-workers  were unloading a truck (which I hate under the best […]

one of his good days, which is good for me too…

I worked all day at the arts and crafts store with someone I’m not fond of…we got the job done I think, although for awhile it felt like *I* was the only one actually working…he seemed somehow “different” after the 15 minute break…full of energy and ideas… I went out Saturday night to hear the […]

True American Royalty : The Duke of Ellington
