Month: October 2014

  • Great Weekend in October

    What a beautiful weekend.  Hard to believe it’s the end of October.  On Saturday, the temp was upper 60s to low 70s.  On Sunday, the temp was mid 60s.  Both days had plenty of sunshine.  I even opened up the windows on Saturday to air out the house. Saturday morning, I kind of got up […]

  • An episode of “The Fugitive” being filmed in my neighborhood?

    This morning around 2:00, the telephone rang.  There was no message when it went to the answering machine.  We were thinking how inconsiderate someone was to call at that hour.  I finally got up after hitting the snooze a couple times, which was around 5:00. I was working at my desk when Rick came wondering […]

  • King Biscuit Blues Fest: Day 6 and Day 7 It is what it is.

    The title is taken directly from Red Paden:  It is what it is. I decided to combine the last two days since nothing at all happened on the second day, except the drive through rain to get home.   What time is it?  What is all this light?  Why am I up so early?  Didn’t […]

  • King Biscuit Festival: Day 5 Best Day of King Biscuit Blues Fest is Day After: Cat Head Mini Fest

    I’m a day behind, I know.  There was just no way I was staying up last to report on the day we had.  And what a day it was.  That was the most fun I’ve had in a long time.  Now I’m tired. After three days outside in the weather, I was tired.  I was […]

  • King Biscuit Blues Fest: Day 4 Where did the sun go?

    Last day of the King Biscuit Blues Festival.  Hard to believe that we’ve spent almost 3 full days listening to blues music.  It’s been great, but very tiring.  Then we still have a day in Clarksdale on Sunday. I slept in even later this morning.  I woke up hearing Rich talking on the phone.  Turns […]

  • King Biscuit Blues Fest: Day 3 Storms on the horizon

    It is Friday.  Does that mean that vacation is halfway over?  A week just isn’t enough. Even though I stayed up late last night, I still got up around 8:00 this morning.  We got up and dressed for breakfast downstairs.  This hotel isn’t known for their breakfast and I see why.  At least they had […]

  • King Biscuit Blues Fest: Day 2 There’s more than one Tunica?

    Yep, there are at least two. I got to sleep in!  There was no wet dog nose in my hand or anywhere near my face.  I didn’t hear a dog throwing itself to the ground and sighing with an impossibly deep and long breath!  I’m on vacation!  I’m afraid to ask my son how he […]

  • King Biscuit Blues Fest: Day 1 On the road again

    At 7:00 this morning, Sascha starts throwing herself down on the floor and sighing really big.  I mean, really big.  I’m surprised the air isn’t sucked out of the room.  That’s her sign she is tired of watching me sleep.  It’s time to put her outside.  Yeah, she’s right.  I’ve probably slept enough.  I drag […]
