There was GNO at Sherry's July 1 with divine food and a raucous game of Apples to Apples, thanks to Connie Z.
A reader in South Carolina has sent me several bootleg cds of Todd Snider which are just delightful as you who have seen him know that his live shows are nothing like his CDs. Thank you.
Amy's party on the Fourth was subdued due to the weather which was very cloudy and not so hot. But we played some goofy golf and ate great pulled pork and other comestibles.
Amy and I went out to Chip's the next day for a party with some old friends of his, one of whom had been a French major with me at BGSU back in the day. There was much wine drinking and setting off of fireworks.
We went to Beckett's to get Amy's free steak dinner on her birthday and were so tired afterward, that was the end of her birthday festivity.
July 12 was the Secret Garden Tour which was amazing, seeing all these people's back yards and I have many photos ON MY PHONE which will be posted sometime. While it is easy to TAKE the pictures on the phone, it's cumbersome to send them to my email and retrieve them and post them here. Because I am so busy after all.
Last Thursday, Sherry and Fred took me to the Average White Band/WAR concert at Centennial Terrace where it was a beautiful night and the music was great although frankly, both are mere cover bands now as most original members are long gone.
Today I had lunch with Sal for her birthday at Mancy's Italian. I got her this mirror.
This Saturday is the Dragon Boat racing on the Maumee. We have had practice two nights this week and we are going to kick some serious ass. Come watch us. We race three times that day, the first at 8:40 a.m. which I don't expect to see anybody at. We race in the rain but not if there's lightning so we'll see how the weather is that day.
Amy and I are going to the Pomeroy Blues Bash on Aug. 1 to see Will Kimbrough and Nora Jean Bruso, among others. We are staying at the Meigs Motel which kinda looks like the joint in Psycho.
July 31 has Stacy Mitchhart at the ClaZel, Devon Allman at DeSimone's and Nate Baker at Cucina de Betto. Where will YOU be?
And then it will be August for chrissakes. When during the first week, there is John Nemeth at GFT on Aug. 4, GNO on Aug. 5 at 149 North and Tunafest that weekend. I can't find a lineup for it anywhere although I hear the Welders are Friday night.
Rod's Collision at the ClaZel Aug. 14.
Wallace Coleman at Hines Farm this Saturday and Billy Branch there Aug. 15 when it is the Festival but no others listed but Mudfoot.
The Subdudes are at the Ark Nov. 17 which is a Tuesday but I may have to go anyway. Tickets on sale this Saturday. I'll buy some. We'll talk later.
My DVD player I use for my CDs died so I guess I should move on to the MP3 music. And pay more than $30 for the next DVD player I buy since these last two have lasted less than 2 years.
My baby turns 24 Saturday.
