I love Weezer, and so does my son. They are playing at the Minnesota State Fair this weekend, but tickets are $$$ and it would mean going to the fair and spending even more and dealing with crowds. Nopenopenopenope

I last saw Weezer at Summerfest in Milwaukee. I love the band, but concerts just aren't for me. I think we ended up leaving early.

I'm not even thinking much about the fact that this is a holiday weekend. In the past I'd be excited because it meant another day of heavy drinking (not that I didn't drink heavily whenever I felt like it). Now I'm just thinking I can get extra stuff done around the house.

HaF, that's so disappointing about the Brussel sprouts. Aphids are gross. They sometimes get on my tomatoes but they usually get the milkweed.

Too old for any band? I'll take being too old for Justin Bieber.

There's an article in my local paper about the neighborhood girl who won Rose of Tralee. Apparently she also works at the school up the street from me.

Happy Labor weekend and indeed Labor day to all my hardworking American friends!!! I even dropped the U for u guys!!!

You paint a poignant scene well MesaMan. This toxic liquid of delusion breeds chaos, disorder, and pain.

I hope your anger has subsided and you are feeling better Ruby. Better out than in!!

Good on you Tetra for accepting a compliment.

So many other posts. I do read them all. Bim? SoberP?

Welcome to all the new folk who have joined us so far!

Brussel sprouts on the boil for the Christmas!

I'm better, thanks Behan. Enjoying my day off, sort of. Chores need doing.

Mesa, that is a very sad happening. Hopefully some good can come of it all. I imagine it was surreal.

Mesa- thanks for the post xoxo

Well I'm off work for the night! Amazing! What will I do- definitely walk by the river.

I'm working most of the weekend which I like.
I hate crowds, noise, lines etc.
I'd rather just have a weds off.

Weezer is a great band.

Hey U75 - love the avatar and the text underneath!! My fiancee and I are big on Steven Universe. Such a good, hilarious show! Garnett is definitely my favorite.
