…and I’m chillin’, working at home. I think I may get something done too. Unusual, that…
It’s been a pretty eventful week for me. quiet Friday-didn’t go skating, went through my stuff & consolidated everything to my big white rolling bin. Now I have the bin, 2 book boxes, a cd box, my guitar, amp, sub, keyboard, kites, didge, mike stand, rainstick, skates, bocce set, rocking chair, clothes, shoes, computer bag, Stick (which will go once I get the pickup fixed), 2 tool boxes, luggage (including toiletries), document box and that’s about it. Erika did church Sunday & I stayed home. Work Monday, off Tues and Weds.
I drove to Seattle Tues. to see the King Tut exhibit with C’s 5th grade class. I had to get an Oregon driver’s license because my Cali. one was expired in July. I was sweating because I failed the test the last time I tried. I studied a bunch and passed easy. I had to go back to get the registration reprinted for the Toyota. I was close to late, but we got on the road OK, stopped at Burgerville, arrived with only 2 missed turns. I was the only one to find street parking-thanks years of parking in downtown Long Beach… We got to bed OK, I read a bit, but bugged everyone with a noisy airbed. Up early, breakfast, re-park cars, walked to the monorail. Wait around, take the monorail, stand around, take it back. Hang out in the park, armory, go up the Space Needle, go to the Science Center, look at butterflies, eat lunch. See the Tut exhibit-it was nice, but not expansive. Walk back, drive back. It was rainy, and the boys were painful.
Work yesterday and today, picked up the boys, deposited a gift check, shopped, and that’s it. Well, there’s a side gig and stuff in the works, and M is getting to be a teen.
I watched some of Apocalypse Now, some Terence McKenna, and listened to Moonage Daydream and dreamed about playing it in high school. I refined my edit of “Let’s Get the Show on the Road”. I read a cool book about rebooting your brain, downloaded some Swedenborg and Anton Wilson.
