Last night I got a nice mental break from life. Tina J., Megan and I all met up in front of Homers. We got take-out from the nearby Mexican restaurant and I sort of invited us to share a table with a complete stranger named Joe. He turned out to be a nice guy and to be honest, I think he was grateful for some company. We were entertaining to say the least.
Every Monday my neighborhood coffee house has a bluegrass/gospel/60s hippie music jam session on the porch outside. Tina, Megan and I all love bluegrass. I think we stirred up the typically stoic Homers crowd by clapping to the beat and singing along. Hey, it’s a jam session folks! We did get sort of a nice harmony going to “I’ll Fly Away” although I only know the chorus.
Afterwards we went back to my apartment and amused ourselves by watching Tina’s guide dog go bananas in my living room. I guess he’d had a long day, so when his harness came off – look out! He always does this at my house. He runs as fast as he can in a circle around my dining room table, through the kitchen, the living room and then back around the table again. I’m amazed he can get up that kind of speed in such a small place! He then lay on his back, all four legs kicking in the air as he tried to bite his own tale. It was like watching a dog trying to do aerobics! It was a good laugh, and I really just needed an evening of laughing hard.
It was also good to see Megan again. I’ve known Megan since college. She moved away last year so it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her.
