Pack it up pack it in, let me begin...

Busted out my drum cases to get ready to move the big boys to the church building tomorrow. Again I am reminded of how grateful I am that we have our own building and our own set of drums at the church so I don't have to haul stuff back and forth all the time. We've got a LOT of playing going on the next few days as we get closer to our Riverfest gig and also play for a youth rally this Sunday night. I figured I'd haul my drum bling out since we really need to put our best foot forward and besides, everyone else is going to have their "good stuff" as well.

Work went well today, made progress on several fronts this morning. Ate lunch with Lesa and Mike at the Guad. Suprised everyone there by showing up with a different crew on a different day and a different time. Note to self, having a potent margarita at lunch impacts your afternoon productivity. Ran a few errands then took time off to visit the eye doc for my annual checkup. Looks like I may need to crank up the prescription in one eye. I'll be trying out a lens for a few days to see how it does for me. If it helps, then I'll have a new prescription. Yay. Getting old is lots of fun. They dilated my eyes again to do a thorough check-up. Unfortunately, they have to use some strong stuff that keeps me dilated for several hours. A nasty side effect of that is that your near vision is hosed. I went home for a bit and really couldn't do much till my eyes recovered so I did what any normal person my age would... I took a nap.

Headed over to Jemisons to meet up with the rest of the crew to eat, drink and be merry. It was a relaxing evening but a little on the chilly side. Heavy E was all comfy in his long sleeved shirt but a few of us were obviously NOT warm. The funny moment of the evening was when there was a pseudo-political discussion going on for some time then Wendy interjects with "Did you know that they're having a big sale on pants at Goody's?". Everyone's reaction was the same - "WHAT?!?"
