Geese, Moving and The Maestro's Men
As you can tell, I've been updating this less and less as time goes by and I gradually move myself back the States. Things have been hectic. I've been down here living/visiting for about a week and a half. I have a few more trips up and back to Canada and that's it.
Last week, while on the way back to Thorndike from Chicopee, I had a quite unpleasant experience. I was driving along on the Mass Pike, minding my own business when all of a sudden I was hit by about 10 pounds of flying irony. A Canada Goose flew into my driver's side mirror. Busted the mirror and probably its neck. Stupid bird. Cost me almonst $200 for a new mirror too. That was thrilling let me tell you.
Then Friday was moving day. I'm still going to be spending a little time in Canada, but needed to get my stuff back here. So my parents and Putnam took a trip up to bring everything back. Wasn't as hard as moving things up there but it was still exhausting. So now all my stuff is at Julie's place and is being assimilated. I'm hoping today to get the HDTV going. It would be nice to have that set up. Computer desk still needs setting up as well as a few other items but for the most part, it's coming together. She is, however, going to have to get rid of all her dishes and pots and pans so I can store my glassware. Of course, we won't be able to cook or eat as a result, but what's important is that I can enjoy a tasty beverage in any glass I may choose at any given time.
Yesterday was probably one of the highlights of my musical career (or lack thereof). I had the honor and priviledge of playing with the Maestros Men in Port Washington, NY. Excellent job. It's amazing to play with such a group of talent, be laid back with no pressure or attitudes and still sound great. I could do that all the time. Oh yeah, I made some money too, but for once, it didn't really matter. Hopefully I'll get called on again soon. One of the better jobs I've played in a long time!
That's all. Sooner or later this blog is gonna be closed down for good. It's been winding down, but, once I'm back, there's not really a need to be updating it. Plus Thorndikia Mania doesn't sound quite right.
