Now

is this groggy foggy and wet Thursday made glorious twilight by these long shadows and setting sunlight gleaming off wet surfaces.
But I, who was not made for this inane twaddle, shall talk of other things.

With any luck, I've replaced my profile music clip with my latest work.
It's called "A Walk in the Park" for string quartet.
Hope yez likes it.

Well it doesn't want to load...I'll try later.

Last weeks version is on my facebook site.

Anyway, today was wet and cold. My coffee (and a nice piece of pecan pie) at Caffe Ladro was followed a little further up the street by a Starbuck's tall drip belly warmer.

Got up the hill to SCCC way too early.
Wandered about for awhile and found the new location of Twice Told Tales, a local used book monger.
With utmost self-restraint, I managed to not buy any books.

Which was not easy.

The rest of the story is pretty routine, nobody asked me to read any strange words on any small pieces of paper (see Jeremy Denk's birthday announcement)

I did have a little economic adventure at the bank, however,
I wanted to change two $5.00 rolls of dimes into quarters (much more convenient for bus fare) one of the rolls was short by 3 dimes, but somehow the teller miscounted and I ended up with a $10.00 roll of quarters plus two more quarters.
I took her word for it but later realized I owed her $.80, which I shall return Monday when I go downtown again to the Chamber Music Society's fund raising luncheon.

Unless I forget.

High finance is such a giddy, breath taking endeavor.

Back home again I replaced the belt on the Hoover and drove Meredith down to Maya's for a Mexican dinner.

The house still smells of burnt Hoover belt.

Last night we watched Alex's neighbor, Steve Miller and his band.

Mainly because his show was on before the Bob Dylan one.
Bob Dylan at Newport, 1962, 1963, 1964.

What a wordsmith! A deep and profound sense of importance permeates his work, especially the early stuff.

Without any other kind of sense at all.

Love it!

Lemmesee if I got a picture for ya.

There, that'll work. It's an acoustic bass guitar I built a couple years ago.

I'll get the music loaded as soon as I can.
