Monday, Monday
1. Wonderfully relaxing picnic at Meadowbrook Park the other day..... Owen hurt his hand on the monkey bars and not only did Dick have a band-aid in his wallet but later, when that one gave up, Sasha actually pulled out a first aid kit in a tiny little Whitman's sampler tin. Is that the cutest thing you've ever seen? My how times change.
2. More vandalism in the garden at work this morning. Sigh.
3. Leo and Owen are both a bit sick today. Owen has had a bit of a cold and is all stuffed up----I'm trying to convince myself that's why he's been so foul lately. Leo now has a fever and a bit of a cold. Damn it all. Kids aren't supposed to be sick in July! And I'm supposed to have one of my best friends----Gisela---over tomorrow.....we'll see.
4. O.K.....we just watched Nashville Star---the longest two hours on television but given how tired I was from both Owen AND Leo trying to sleep with us last night it was perfect. They kept picking on performers/contestants for not being country enough....so why didn't they PICK country contestants???
5. Last time we saw Kane Welch Kaplin Kevin mentioned onstage (before they did David Olney/John Hadley'sPostcards from Mexico) that David Olney was touring with Sergio Webb and when they did this song Sergio used a megaphone....here it is at long last. I gotta admit that I love Kane Welch Kaplin's version of it but this pretty much kills me too. I don't understand what's going on with me and David Olney....it seems everytime he plays close by I'm unavailable. One time several years ago he played in Chicago the day we were doing the Ann Arbor Antiques Market and then played Ann Arbor the day after we left. He played a day or two after we saw KWK this spring but we couldn't get up there/stay up there after having seen them. NOW after obsessively looking at his touring schedule I found that he's going to be in PORTLAND, MAINE the DAY after we leave. WTF??? Geesh.. One day David Olney...I just KNOW it....
6. O.K.....I know nobody watches these clips I put on but they make me damn happy. I watched pretty much this whole video the other night before realizing it was Billy Bob Thornton....sometimes I'm clueless..... Anyway, I kinda like what I've heard...it's all covers but for God's sake they do a MOTT THE HOOPLE song....(not this one mind you).....
7. O.K....so I listened to the Vertebrats thing on WGN but I must admit that I'd had a couple of glasses of wine and Ernie'd had a whiskey or two (hence him actually calling in) but anyway that night I had all sorts of odd dreams (as I do most nights.....) and the next morning I thought to myself, "did Kenny actually say they were considering another reunion next summer?" and then I told myself that no....that must have been part of one of my dreams. I considered emailing him about it but I feared that he would respond, "Cynthia...how much wine DID you have?" so I didn't do it. Now that I can listen to the whole thing again however I realized tha the DID say that and it wasn't a wishful dream..... What freaks me out is thinking that I imagine that would be their 30th anniversary.... Woo-hooooooooo!!!1
8. O.K....I guess I'm off to bed....
