In which I say hi. (“Hi!”) Greetings from Oak Brook, Illinois, where I live in a hotel room at a Marriott with NLW, who came down with a sinus infection and hasn’t left the room in 30 hours! I watched fireworks from the parking lot on the 4th and it was good. I have eaten […]
In which I’m quite recovered from my melancholy. I’ve known for awhile that The Ex has himself a new squeeze, though folks have been trying to hide it from me. (No need to, I’m glad to hear it.) I’ve put a few clues together from various things I was told at the party and things […]
In which it was the best time I’ve ever had outdoors in the Midwest! Yesterday I traveled the Mississippi on a pontoon boat with some friends. I got a sunburn. I’d been wearing sunglasses all day, so today I look like a raccoon. The skin on my cheeks, forehead, and nose is bright red and […]
In which it’s good to be home. In other words: I’m back, bitches! Oh, people, I had so much fun in Vail! It was, on the surface, a really lovely little jaunt. The surroundings were awesome, the gig went well, I did some knitting, I bonded with the other players in the band, we pre-sold […]
In which I’m on musician time. We were supposed to leave at four. Now we’re leaving at seven. And these boys are clean, if you catch my drift, nothing to blame it on but musician time. With the hope that I will be able to use a pool, whirlpool, or sauna at the hotel this […]
In which I’m rather looking forward to leaving town. I finished my laundry last night, and found a piece of luggage, and threw the stuff I’ll be taking into a pile in the middle of my room. Then I cooked for an hour, because I felt like cooking. Chana chole. Rice with cumin and peas. […]
In which GUESS WHO UNTHINKINGLY WASHED ONLY HER SUMMER CLOTHES like a dumb ass?! I’m no stranger to the mountains. I’ve been meaning to check the Vail forecast for a week now, because I knew it would be cooler up there. I finally did. Check the forecast, I mean. And a good thing, too, because […]
In which I’m going out of town! YAY! The guy who books me for his Children’s Benefit holiday concerts every year, and on whose album I sang the summer before last, has booked a gig for his sometime-band The Seventh Ray. In Vail! Colorado! In the freakin’ Rockies, bitches! I’m going to Vail for a […]
In which I go on a wild little trip! On St. Pat’s we got all riled up and decided for no good reason whatsoever to go to the casino. It’s less than an hour away, and we had sober drivers, so off we went — at one-thirty in the morning! It was a strange idea […]
In which I make the best of it. I stopped for gas on the way out of town, and in spite of my nice interview clothes I took a look underneath the jeep. The exhaust has rusted out. Parts of it are hanging down all over the place, and so I called and canceled my […]
