Nothing

This Saturday night, the 16th of March, my band The Prairie Dogs are playing Kings Coffee again. We played there back in January and had a pretty nice time all in all. I think they liked the size of the crowd we pulled in since they were quick to book us for another show.

We’ve spent the last two months working on a CD that we can sell to family and friends and the like. We finely finished it last week and the picture above is the cover.

We’ve also worked up a bunch of new stuff so even if you’ve seen us before, we have lots of new songs to offer. Doug Mackey, of Mr. Blackwatch said he’d warm us up again and things should get under way right after 8 PM. Kings Coffee doesn’t sell alcohol but there’s a bar right next door where I grabbed a pint before the last gig we played even though the coffee house makes a nice latte if that’s more to your liking.

Other stuff this last week, our littlest one had his second birthday on Thursday and we had a small get together with family and friends on Saturday afternoon. The therapy chair/stroller we finally got for him had to be sent back Friday because it was the wrong size so now we wait and wait again.

We’ll be selling the CD at the gig but if you want one and think you won’t be able to make it drop me an email . I’d be more than happy to send you one.

I’ll see what I can do about getting a song up on the site. Keep checking my notes area to the left this week and I’ll get to it.

Other than that, we’d love to see you this Saturday night so come to the show.

We’ve started making The List. Somehow lately in trying to keep our head above water, we’ve forgotten the usefulness in keeping up the Big Check List. There are things that need to be done and like all things that one keeps trying to juggle in the air, errant balls will veer off their trajectory and disappear under sofas and wing-back chairs for weeks until cleaning day where they manage to get swept back out into the open. Sometimes it to late and the moment’s past and sometimes they never get found again. So Sunday night we gathered up our calendar and tried to put all the balls back in motion. Of course today is only Wednesday, and while we have achieved some degree of juggletude, there are still many balls to get up in the air. The best part of this new approach is that the Disney Trip is back on. We’ll be heading down to Anaheim for the Halloween weekend, taking the boys out of school for a few days to take advantage of the midweek rates. Sweetie is also ...

The To-Do List

Well it’s been a few days since I last posted, I know, I know. What with Sweetie being out of town this past weekend and the calendar being all stuffed full, there just hasn’t been all that much time to write. Not that there hasn’t been things to talk about. Both boys had their first ride on a pony, I got in an argument with another parent dropping the older boy off at school after she had a fit that I had parked to close to her car. The older boy got to hold his new cousin and we all got a good meal out of the deal. Met with Colin Saturday morning and got the artwork back (finally!) for the Prairie Dogs upcoming CD, Brand New Heart, It looks GREAT, now I just need to find out how to pay to get them made up. Started working on a switch-activated Lazy-Susan for Ike so he can sit and spin himself in his chair. Called the paramedics to come and rescue my mom after she fell off the last step leaving the trailer Sunday morning. We all wound up in the emergency room commiserating...

Breaking up in the fog

I noticed them as I was getting Ike’s wheelchair out of the back of the 402. A young couple; her standing about five feet or so from him and facing away, looking down, and he, sitting on the park bench, shoulders down and elbows on knees. She was crying. The Older Boy took no notice of them, and was asking if we could go into the park after the party, but since I was trying to both listen to his question and suss the couple’s situation out it took me a while to answer. Later, while we were at the party in a house that overlooked the park, I saw that they had moved to another bench, but that she was still crying and he was still seated with his elbows resting on his knees. The party was a surprise birthday celebration for Heather that Earl put together at the last minute the day before. We drank Mojito’s and red wine, and Earl’s mother put some chicken and potatoes in the oven to bake. Both Heather and Earl’s mothers have been staying with them for the past few months since He...
