Travel

Me, me, me or us, us, us

 
Or is it money, money, money or music, music, music?  You don't have to worry about money, so it should be music.  Right?


Yes, Mary and Gwen were there.  Did any of you guys see them?

I want one

 
I wonder if there's a 28" baking pan for one of those vintage Ludwig bass drums...

I love the bass guitar

 
But I will never want a Beatle bass.

Sunny side up

 
I don't have a cast iron skillet but even if I did, I wouldn't cook sunny side up eggs in it.  Cast iron has to be hot enough to use properly, which makes sunny side up eggs have a bubbly hard egg white.  I want the egg white soft and smooth, so I prefer a non stick pan at low heat.  Non stick pans don't last long with me though, plus I'm not very fortunate with sunny side up eggs.  Something always goes wrong, and I become thrilled when both eggs turn out right.

Enjoying a free macaroni dinner after the gig.  Gwen, there would be more room to eat if you sat in front of Mary.

Sugar?

 

I've been snacking hard lately.  The politicians came around giving away snacks as flood aid, so I had some of that.  No Oreos, though, instead I got other forms of chocolate flavored grease.  I did get some packs of ramen, so I don't have to buy some.  I also got a cup of ramen.  I haven't had that since I was in America.  I used to crack an egg in there before I put in the hot water.  No, I don't miss it.  My ramen game has stepped up.


Another restaurant gig for Mary.

Meat and greet

 
Where's Grace?  Honey instead of music industry, perhaps you should try networking with these guys.  Yeah they might be crooks, but so is the music industry.   At least they may be sincerely impressed with your guitar skills.
