R&A, great line up! I never watched them long enough to realize they do more than one move!
Careful Itch, they're hypnotic if you watch too long, lol...

Friday night, and I have all of next week off with the kiddo. Tonight was the first in the annual series of summer concerts at our neighborhood park. The headliner was an Elvis. Flashy jumpsuit, big belt, big collar, big hair, the whole deal. My daughter was like—who is that weird guy?



I remember walking to concerts there two years ago. I'd take two or three beers in my backpack, along with sandwiches for us to eat. Lots folks drink and picnic at the concerts, so nothing unusual there. But the difference was that the moment I finished mine, I'd lose interest in the concert, tell my daughter it was time to head home, and act like it was because I wanted to make sure she got plenty of rest.

The craziest part of all: I was still buying into the theory that drinking helped me to relax and enjoy life.

I am so grateful to be able to look back at it all from this distance.
