It's been a long time since I was so busy I accidentally double-booked a gig. It isn't a mistake I could make on my own, though. I needed help from Bradshaw Blues' leader and booker to help, by only putting it one place online, and not telling me about it.

But it happened. It'll be okay, the BB gig I just found out about is a weird one, and it has been played solo by Chad in the past, which is what he'll do. He'll actually make decent money for a night, and I'll be somewhere else playing with some new folks. Win-win.

Speaking of someone making decent money, it wasn't me today: My investment account took the biggest one-day hit in its just-under four-year history today, after a pretty big hit yesterday.

The internet makes it easy to over-track this, but I treat it like my weight. Which is to say, with some diligence but not much emotional investment.

No matter, it's only a day, and, given my 2%-a-year benchmark, I have still profited well beyond my expectations (an average of almost 15% per year, annualized). Pretty good. Pretty lucky.

Saving the way I have is one of my proudest achievements, since it is representative of the turn-around I've had since leaving North Carolina.

Apropos of nothing, Alex changed his Facebook status to 'In a Relationship'. Best of luck.

Things were going so well until I spotted that cookie after dinner. That set off my hunger, and the late-night snack of celery and mayonnaise was too much.
