Had an interesting day of contrasts yesterday.

I spend yesterday morning at a birthday party for a child I worked with in Berkeley over a two year period. I hadn't seen her in several months and was glad to receive a big hug when she saw me. She quickly explained that she wasn't really five yet, but that they were leaving town and wouldn't be home for her "actual" birthday.
I got to play with several familiar kids and talk to several familiar parents. It was a good time.
Later in the afternoon, I went to see Scott, the fella I've been having some issues with, playing solo at the Clayton Club, the same bar where we often play as a 4-piece rock band. He invited me up for a few tunes, and things went well.
Another friend of mine showed up, and we wound up "doing shots" with Scott and a couple of friends of his who had showed up.
So I went from being kind-hearted birthday cake-eating preschool teacher to shot-swilling musician and bar fly in the course of a few hours.
I suppose balance is good. How was your Sunday?

That's an interesting weekend. I had an unplanned out of town trip that turned out well and fulfilling.

@TheHorse last i heard, "tornado alley" already'd 80 tornadoes confirmed since friday 'n they're 'xpectin' more.
the winds've finally calmed (only 'bout 10-15mph) 't this early hour'f morn (1am). which'd be a good thingy coz gusts earlier'n the eve neared 60.
wanna pop o'er when the winds subside 'n help me get rid 'f the horses dreds?? ugh, mr. whiskey 'tis'n absolute mess :(

That sounds nice, I especially like the way you interacted with the kids. I also like to talk and play with the little ones. My first grandchild is six months old and to adorable! It warms my heart when she laughs and give me a big smile!
