Labor Day Weekend

This is about our fifth year avoiding the LB Blues (Pop Soul & Hard Rock) Festival, mainly caused by antipathy between yours truly and the concert producer.

Not much loss...today the Black Crowes. Those were the days.Instead, we make our trek to Paul & Judy's - tho Paul is in Nicaragua, and Chris just sold his Downey house to move to Palm Springs. Also, Shea left the Shore for a new boyfriend in Northtown and Heather moved into an apt. in NJ. Wow! What changes. What changes?

Our life is calm and normal in contrast, but one never knows, do one?

I see that the festival received very little, if any, press. One puny article in the PT on Sunday, but not much about the music.

Our day with Judy et al (Paul was in Nicaraguan beach) was fun, as Brian came with us, was amused by my many-turn approach to her house (he called it a saw blade, guess it was). Ribs, chicken & sausage, much good food. At first he called the get together a "woman's convention," before Chris & John got there. But he had a great time.

NASCAR that evening.

Next day, he removed the ski rack from my turbo and we cleaned up stuff, took a noon walk around City College and west.

Football this evening, and worked on book.

We also got some great news. Susan Peck was afraid her mother & family had lost everything in the New Orleans (Metarie) floods, and that mother in law was moving in. But they got a call that her brother went to his house & his mother's house, and everything's fine with her house...so no Mother-In-Law in Ashland. Joe feels great about that, Susan thinks we're barbaric, and who knows?
