Friday, finally feeling better so I rode 42 miles.
Saturday, rode 21 fast miles and cut back to home, expecting rain that never showed up. Took Mrs. T to an Indian food place where the service is slow but the meals are always tasty.
Sunday, rode 33 quick miles. Legs be all toasty. Nap time!
This is the first week since early October since I rode over 100 miles. (7 miles Wednesday) No wonder I got slow and fat!

How did I get here?
Friday -worked from home. It was the first night I actually was able to chill and do nothing in the new place.
Saturday - drove back to the old town to pick up a few things. Was gonna visit the folks, but got in a bit late. Wife and I chilled in the hotel after overeating at dinner.
Sunday - checked out of the hotel, then stopped at the storage facility to pick up a few random things. Dropped the wife off at a friend’s house, as she is going to hang for a couple of days to oversee the hauling of the rest of her shit..., er, I mean, “our”stuff to the new place. I then continued on back to the new home in Ohio with the above-mentioned random things.

Ha, is that a Française des Jeux jersey that guy has on? I still have my Gitane team FDJ bike from 1999.

Saturday- more time with Mom and another dinner.
Sunday- came back home and decided to take a 7 mile hike in the woods. Something oddly satisfying about the snow and solitude this time of year.

Saturday: My wife was working this weekend, so I had a lot of time to myself. Dinked around on guitar and hit a fertile vein of riffs and notions which I captured on my phone. Went to the burbs and had lunch and an insane long-winded conversation with my dad. Went to my buddies’ place and worked on tracking drums for the next record.
Sunday: Made lunch and saw my wife off to work. Turned the riffs and notions in to a pile of mostl formed songs that need lyrics and vocal lines now. Cleaned out the freezer. Went grocery shopping. Made some soup for the upcoming week. Made a pizza for dinner. Made some zucchini-banana bread out of stuff from the freezer.

Not much.
Some errands around the house, out to see the band on Saturday night, bit of shopping on Sunday.
The band got my daughter up to sing along on one of their songs. She can sing! No one knew.
Not a loud voice, but that can be sorted out and worked on.

Took the boy to the Museum of Natural History. Separately, it was finally nice enough to get the tricycle my sister bought him for his birthday outside, and he had some fun with that. Doesn't understand the pedals, or why he shouldn't stop in driveways. We'll have to work on those.

I remember having to add blocks to my tricycle pedals just to reach them.

Saturday night was the Los Lobos-Los Lonely Boys show. Excellent, as expected. There was an opening act - Lisa Morales, first I've heard of her, but she is really good. Sort of Spanglish folk rock, excellent singing voice and guitar, and her band is stocked with first-rate players, trained killers all. Then Los Lobos: the last two times I saw them they were in an acoustic mode, which is great, but it was good to see them all plugged in and fully depraved again. Turned out to be possibly the hardest-rocking set I've ever seen them play, they were really fired up. They covered Santana's Oye Como Va really well, definitely a high point. LLB set was strong also, those guys can really play, and of course Henry Garza is a monster on the guitar, with a sweet, uncomplicated tone from the strat/marshall rig. They had most of the members from LL come out and jam along, especially on this blues number that must have stretched out to 30 minutes or so. 
Long show, got home at like 1
0 am, perfect timing with DST hitting.
Sunday - got our tax return done, refund incoming. Got sleepy and went to bed early, slept hard so I'm over the DST change now.

He can reach them. And he puts his feet on them. He just hasn’t figured out how they work yet. Trying to push both at the same time. He’ll get it.

Interesting gig on Friday night. The producer of Jersey Boys is also producing a rock musical that my boss wrote, and he likes us, so he hires us for his private affairs (annual Christmas parties, etc.). Anyway, Friday was his 70th birthday party. He's uber wealthy, so he rents out an entire restaurant in midtown. That also means he's got some interesting friends -- high ranking politicians, celebrities -- you never know who's going to show up. And there are ever only 30-40 people at these things, tops.
So, anyway, Joe Piscopo shows up. Super nice and humble. We asked him to come up and sing "NY, NY", and he did. He was great. We sucked (someone in our crew had handed out the wrong chart for it). He kept stopping us and goofing on us about it, hilariously. I guess he'd come prepared with a karaoke track of other stuff, too, so he signals our sound guy to start one of them. It was "That's Life" by Sinatra, which I knew how to play (thanks to DLR's version on "Eat 'Em And Smile", admittedly). I even caught the modulation part way through. Also, no one else knew it so I was the only one playing along with the track. Joe came over right after and thanked me for playing on it, and said, "Hey, you caught the modulation, too!" and started asking me about my gear, commenting on my Les Paul and pedalboard, etc. He actually plays, as it turns out. Anyway, super nice guy, super humble. Just a regular dude.

Please tell me you quoted Danny Vermin back to him. Please.

HA. I didn't, but one of our guys did. So, the band/singers had our own area to hang out in on one side of the place, and we couldn't help ourselves -- I started singing the Sinatra/Stevie Wonder duet from SNL that he and Eddie Murphy did. Unfortunately, I got a little loud when I got to, "You are blind as a bat and I have sight"...line. He was maybe 10 feet from me and immediately jerked his head around and gave me a little stink-eye. Not long after, our sound guy started doing the Danny Vermin schtick. I'm sure he gets bombarded with this stuff every damn day, but we couldn't help ourselves. We weren't goofing on him, it was all done with the utmost reverence.

I am so tired.
Friday- Ken had two gigs. One at the Ottawa Tavern in Toledo @10 pm then a headlining show with Jay Navarro & The Traitors in Detroit @ 12 am. I got home around 4.
Sat- up at 9am after 3 hours of sleep to Judge Crossfit Open workouts for three hours
Sun- all day Advanced CPR, AED, and First Aid Certification. That lasted 8 hrs.
I'm going home to sleep now......
