Every day I copy the next day’s blog template. And every (or most days) all it gets is the list of music I’ve listened to that day. Even though I could end up talking about a lot of stuff, I either run out of time or don’t have anything relevant to say. No matter, that’s the nature of things for me.
OK, so the weekend was pretty uneventful as weekends go-Mathias came home Saturday, we watched part of Avatar until Colin melted down. Sunday we went to the Milwaukie market and Erika stayed up late watching Pride and Prejudice. Yesterday the family visited and we had lunch.
Thursday night, now THAT was eventful. So, I get home, take the train in to downtown. Got off at the fountain-I had to switch trains. Walked up to just past where I would’ve been working at iovation. That would’ve been easy… So, I walk in the bar, we talk about Jim Kucera-bleh. Get a beer, finish up, they want to go barhopping. So we go to this bar/arcade. Play a game, finish up, Al has a huge collection of pinball machines. Go to a gay bar b/c they want Jaeger-blecch. More chat-Al gets upset at a drunk guy bugging him. Go look for food carts. End up at a touristy bar. More chat, then go find the food carts. Chat, eat, say my good byes, get the train, get called-“Where are you?” “On the train.” Get to Gateway, discover no more trains to Clackamas, wait, get a cab to the car, drive home, get busted by the wife. Go to sleep, wake up wishing I hadn’t drank so much. I stopped doing this in the late 90’s…for a good reason.
