Daily Comment

One good thing is that the club where my Syracuse music experience began, Rooters, has been reborn as the Valley Blues House, has much improved and is having music five nights a week.

I am very well-liked by the new owners, both of whom are musicians I have backed up in the past.

I was part of the first band that played at the bar when it reopened.

This is the only bar I know of with my picture on the wall. In fact, I am in three pictures on the wall, one of which is just me, the other two are from opening day, one with the owners holding a cardboard banner which served as the bar's sign until the new, permanent one came earlier this week, in the other, I'm in the crowd at the ribbon-cutting on opening day.

I am appreciative that the scene has improved, and that I have my own Cheers, where everybody knows my name and they're glad I came.

I am nothing but grateful for having Valley Blues House in my life.

Diet Comment

Wow! I was truly surprised, losing a kilo in one day, while having a beer. I have no other explanation than it was a meat-free day (although thanks to cheese, not a vegan day), and those days are rare to the point of, well, this may be my first one in ten years. No arguing with the trend lines, though.
