Daily Comment
I was thinking about joining a 'Moving On' dinner tonight, signed up for it, then changed my mind.

This is a Meetup group for divorced/widowed folks who are past the grieving period and want to move on.

I figured that was enough like me that maybe I might make some new, non-musician friends.

Then, I changed my mind. First of all, I didn't like the restaurant, which had a menu of food I would ordinarily never eat. I checked the reviews, and found out that people, in general, didn't like the food, it was more of a social place. A bit like Hooters (all waitresses, all young girls in short skirts and cleavage-display blouses).

I might have gone anyway, but of the six other people that signed up, four were men, and of the two women, one was the founder of the group (I suspected she signs up for everything). It didn't seem like a good opportunity to have an enjoyable time meeting new people, when most of the men I have met locally are all about sports and outdoor winter stuff, about which I am both clueless and not curious.

I thought, that's a good reason to go, right there. I was on the verge...

When I got a call to play tonight.

Whew!!! That was close!

  2. Yeah - you guys are having historically bad weather. Sorry. Things are unpleasant here, but it is nothing compared to the coastal areas. Eventually, though, the Lake Effect may even things out. Even seasoned Syracusans are freaking out - it was -11 degrees on my way to work today.
