misinformation

Friday night, Amy and Connie and I went out to eat at Trotter's before we went to see Rod's Collision at Nate and Wally's but ALAS the band was not playing, upon calling Sherry we discover. We were misinformed. Gus had no further light to shine on this when I talked to him Saturday. Kim and Jim were on their way up from the hinterlands so they came on and we played 5-handed euchre at Amy's, a game I had never played and that I believe I may not play again. Too complicated, disagreement on rules, etc. Jim won and I came in second, so I don't know what I'm bitching about.

Then, I thought I had a radio show now til Christmas but ALAS, I was misinformed so I'm on next week and then not for the next 2. Although I will probably do a show on Friday of Thanksgiving weekend because the utes will be gone. I'll keep you posted.

Saturday, I took all the windows out of my living room and the green room and washed them inside out, after going to TurboKick at the gym. Man, the windows are stunning. Then I raked the front yard and cleaned my house, including bathtub tile grout and did 4 loads of laundry, which I hardly ever have that much, and had a couple whiskey drinks at Annie's on the porch where it was nice out of the little wind, and then slept like a rock in my clean flannel sheets. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Sunday, I mowed the front and put away a bunch of stuff for winter and picked up 100 lbs. of pinecones and emptied all my pots and planters and hauled all that stuff to the yard waste. Then cooking school commenced. I put a half a roast in the crockpot with carrots and onions and made chicken enchiladas and tuna salad and that pear dessert in the oven with crystallized ginger and biscuit top. Listened to the "I Love Being a Girl" show on WBGU and the world music show. Let me tell you this about cooking school: do not try to thaw a bag of frozen grated cheese by running hot water on it. It just starts to be grilled cheese in a bag.

This Friday, it's Sarah Borges at GFT. Kelly called my radio show the other day, which is good because it means he was listening when I played Terri Hendrix, to tell me the upcoming music schedule there: Dec. 5, Eddie Shaw; January something (TBD), Melvin Taylor; March, Jim Jorgensen who was Elton John's guitar player; and April, Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines.

I emailed Kelly today with info on booking the Doghouse Daddies and Twistin' Tarantulas and Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band. Just need to get him the CDs.

The cabinets are theoretically coming the Monday of Thanksgiving week so I should call Wayne and get him lined up. Those cabinets in the picture have the spice glaze which I not getting. I'm having natural which I can't find a link for. I'm excited.
