A Weekend to Remember, I Think

Thursday Oct 6

Saw Drive with Bill Garver tonight. It combined some of the very few elements of films from the 80's that I liked - and it was creepy.

Maybe the creepy part was what reminded me of the 80's. I forget. The 80's were creepy, or maybe that was just me.

I was definitely creepy in the 80's...and now today, more than ever.

Noticed that in the wake of the "occupy Wall St" movement there's an "occupy Chicago" movement beginning to float around on the Internet. Demonstrations are fine and I think there is some degree of patriotism in all that, sometimes things even get accomplished...

...but I hope the dungarees don't ruin the last fair weather days of the fall milling about the best fair weather city in the world as part of the other 99%.

If you really believe standing about in front of douchebags in suits as they make their way to do douchebag things you don't like is going to change things, please wait until these last beautiful days pass.

There will still be economic injustice in November.


Friday Oct 7

Tons of product came in from MN and I checked 'n tested the hell out of it. A few things needed to go back, but good results for the most part. Busy day, and these days, busy days are good.

Shopping for Kim's chili, then our family movie night feature was Part I of the Burns prohibition doc.


Sat Oct 8

Got up early. The boy and I drove to Lockport and went on a four mile hike with my p's. Absolutely gorgeous day. Lots of leaf peepin' and bird spottin'

That almost sounds like a Doc Pomus line...but then, not really.

Came home and found out why allergy medicine and 1/2 bottle of Jameson make for dangerous company...even among the nicest of company.



Sunday Oct 9

My faith in humanity has never been higher (or is it greater?). Everyone accepted my apologies and all were very nice about the screaming and berating. If I had to spend last evening with someone like me, I'd've punched that fucking me in the fucking face. But Kim's friends are decent and wonderful. Thanks and much love to them.

Picked up Alex from his overnight and drove him to religious ed. Boogied out to the studio and demoed four new songs. Came home, chilled, watched the Brewers win, went to confession and then a late Mass.

Thank you God for this life and thank you friends for your kindness and understanding.
