Yesterday ended up better than it started. After going to the Gap, Old Navy, Nordstrom Rack, American Eagle, Urban Outfitters, Buffalo Exchange (both locations in town) and Red Light, I did find some cool clothes. Not as many as you’d think, considering all the places I went, but I ended up with some cool green pants from Urban, a long-sleeved black T-shirt from Buffalo, and a really great blue-with-brown-pinstripes button-up shirt from AmEagle. There were a couple other places that I intended to go, but by that time I was starving and out of energy. Came home, ate dinner, and hung out with Susan for a little while, until she left to go see the Pete Krebs Trio.

And speaking of the PK3, this morning I had the opportunity to play accordion with them on a few songs for their upcoming CD. What better way to triumph over a gloomy Saturday than to spend Sunday in the recording studio playing gypsy jazz with some of the best musicians in town? Pretty decent way to spend the day, I have to say.

At one point, KeithTheBassPlayer and I went out to get lunch for everyone, and run an errand to the plumbing place so he could order some new fixtures and stuff for his house. In the middle of the store, they had a full hot tub on display. We were cracking ourselves up imagining that after a particularly stressful day, all these big tough plumber guys would say something to the effect of, “We work hard; we play hard!” strip off and start splashing around in the tub together. Then suddenly they realize, “Hey, wait a minute. We’re all MEN!”, stop for an uncomfortable moment, and then burst out laughing. “Yeah. We’re ALL men.” Then it gets kinda quiet again. “Yup. . .we suuuure are. Men.”

Anyway.

Then we went and got some really frickin’ amazing burritos from. . .uh. . .Super Torta. (? I think that’s it.) I could only eat half of mine, which means that I still have the other half for another time. Woo hoo!

Kelly’s coming back from Seattle pretty soon. I’ll get to meet her long-time friend Barb also, which I’m really looking forward to. Should be a good night.
