Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Man, what a weekend. This week at work was crazy, crazy, crazy, getting ready for two big weekend events. They were both wildcard kind of events so it was fly by the seat of your pants time...luckily they were wonderfully successful. Friday I got out at noon and rushed home to get ready for the house concert. Radney Foster sounded absolutely gorgeous....SUCH a wonderful show. He'a hell of a songwriter. Food turned out o.k. and we had lots of new people which we LOVED! The next morning I headed into work for a little while, then came home and took a NAP, got up and went into work with Ernie. We were supposed to be kind of attending, not necessarily working but it was all hands on deck so we worked our asses off, got one nibble of kindai tuna and couple of sakes. We home 9ish and I was so tired that when Leo opened the front door I just went and collapsed on the couch and begged him to take my boots off. He kindly did. I actually had leftovers in the refrigerator (thanks Debbie and everybody) but we were too damn tired to even do that. I slept late this morning and Ernie made muffins with a side of bacon. I am not sleepy tired but mentally I'm shot!! I go back into work midafternoon but should only be there an hour or two.
Whew. I can't complain. It's all good stuff but damn sometimes I feel old...!
Next up in the world of house concerts is Eric Brace and Peter Cooper, with Thomm Jutz. Yes, our beloved Eric and Peter. I don't know what I'm doing for food yet but I do have a 9 1/2 lb pork loin in the freezer. We'll see. I also still have a shitload of Hoppin John in the freezer that I might pull out lol! Two house concerts within two weeks calls for some creative budgeting!
I can't begin to decide what my favorite song of the evening was with Radney....he started out with Just Call Me Lonesome but then again there was Revival which I love, Not in My House which was powerful, Nobody Wins, well hell, and then ended all with Godspeed...oh and Angel Flight and many others.
Two weeks from now, Friday, March 6....I'm thinking of just taking money at the door....no PayPal.....$20 per person---all goes to the guys.... Oh, and they're bringing Thomm Jutz with them...set aside some cash to buy his cds!
