life during wartime

Bush continues to remind us we are 'at war.' Totally meaningless, in the historical sense of the phrase. As Thom Hartmann's new book points out, the War that the Bushies are conducting is against the Middle Class and the US Constitution.

Last night, I played piano at a wedding party for friends. It was a very religious group, with a partition down the middle of the room after the dinner, so that men and women could dance separately. At one point, the bride and groom were carried on the shoulders of their respective groups, and they held the ends of a hankie across the partition, as they bobbed up and down.

I got home around 11 pm, unloaded all my music equipment (two keyboards, an amp, bench, stand, cables and cords), then the car was empty for a few seconds, before camping equipment started going in. We are heading to Bend later today, to camp with friends, as we do a couple of times a year. Should be hot this weekend during the day, and chilly at night.

September already - incredible.

We get back Monday. Tuesday night we have tickets to see Bonnie Raitt at Edgefield's in Troutdale, then, Wednesday morning, I leave for 5 days in Wisconsin. Busy times.

Did you notice Bush's Labor Day present to the workers of America? (Fox -> Henhouse)

Shameless...relentless...

I am so jealous. Camping and seeing Bonnie Raitt. I really miss camping. We got rid of most of our camping stuff when we moved down here since we hadn't used it in years. However camping in FL with all the bugs didn't sound too appealing. I keep threatening to get a fire pit but I fear the neighborhood association may frown on it. Mmmmmmmm marshmallows, s'mores. Mmmmmmmm.

Ok, this is a test to see if "other" identity will show my name.
