I wasn’t doing all that much today, but that was the plan. Finish my parents’ taxes, and then maybe read a book. I even thought I should go to the new REI opening near my house. If you ride a bike there, you get a 20% off coupon and $10 from REI goes towards the Bicycle Transportation Alliance. Well, the taxes are close to finished and I made it to REI, but I didn’t do much more.

Last night I saw my friend Craig sing at a place called Momo. I’ve known the guy since high school (over 20 years ago) and this is the first time I saw him sing. The band he sat in with is called “Grass Verge” and played lots of things I didn’t recognize. Some songs from “Cracker,” I guess. But Craig was better than their normal singer (don’t tell him I said that.) Stayed out too late. Had 50% more beer than my doctor said I should have. (Three in four hours.) All in the name of fun. Always fun to see Craig sing and see Craig’s mom heckling supporting him.

And I got my first paycheck. I better figure out what I’m doing at work pretty soon so I can keep getting them.
