It has been almost five decades since I last played in a coffee shop. Tonight's gig was fun, and I will probably accompany the singer/songwriter again.

I will also have to spend some time rehearsing with him, because he isn't used to playing with accompaniment and all the structure that implies. Especially in regards to rhythm.

It was a nice change-up from my usual, and I'm all about that.

Diet Comment

Late night eating and lots of pepperoni happening last night seems to have a deleterious effect on my weight. I didn't help my 'cause' with a midnight binge on jelly beans, either. So it goes.

Food Log 

Breakfast
Cocoa-kale-hemp-chia protein shake: Almond milk, kale, cocoa, hemp seeds, chia gel, a large egg, vanilla whey powder (24g protein), cinnamon, vanilla, psillium and stevia-inulin blend.

Lunch
At Ling-Ling's Chinese Buffet and Grill:

Brussels sprouts, kimchee, and, from the "Mongolian Grill", my go-to dish, pork and chicken with cabbage, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, snow pea pods and broccoli. Not shown: a little beef and broccoli.

Dinner

Hard-boiled eggs and guacamole, Spring Mix greens with black beans and balsamic vinaigrette.

Snack

FAIL! Jelly beans. Sigh. I bought a few pounds for the green room tomorrow, and ate a whole lot of them late tonight, then promptly passed out.

Liquid Intake   

   Coffee:  38 oz.   Water:  96+ oz.
