Spring!

Hi again, it’s been a while…

Not gonna lie, been in a rut.  Got too many things to do and not enough time to get ’em done. And yet, nothing that I felt was worth writing about.

Not that it’s been all bad, just not noteworthy.

I’ve only been to one show since my last post – Magic City Hippies at the Fillmore in SF.  However, considering I’ve done something like 5 or 6 concert reviews about them on this blog and this was maybe the 10th(?) time we’ve seen them, I don’t really have much else to say.  They are STILL gre,at, one of the best live acts out there.  Seriously.  If you like live music and you get the opportunity, go see them.  You won’t regret it. 

I also was surprisingly reunited with a dear old friend – one of my groomsmen as a matter of fact – that “fell off the radar” some 30 years ago and I haven’t seen or heard from since!  We had a nice talk on the phone and he was coming to town from out of state, so we met up for lunch a few days later and it was fantastic.   It really gave me a sense of joy that my feeble vocabulary can’t articulate.  I’ve really come to appreciate old friends as I’ve grown old but it’s rare that I see mine, as we’re now scattered clear across the country. In different directions.  I’m the only dumb sap that still lives in the area where we all grew up.  Unfortunately it no longer even closely resembles the place of our youth and there isn’t much to draw them back here for a visit.

Such is life.

Still have a pile of parts to replace on my truck, but between the full to-do list and the absolutely crap weather we’ve been having these last couple months, I’ve not been terribly excited about doing the work. 

But now SPRING is officially here, and today I felt pretty invigorated.   Had a productive day at work,  then came home and put in a couple hours of chorin’ , now throwing this little note out there just to pet you all know I’m still alive and kicking!

Hopefully the change in seasons will bring a change in output here on the old Blogstead.

Happy Spring. See you soonish.

Go call an old friend.

Thanks for stopping by.
