I had a gig Saturday night.....and the day itself was so irrepressibly gloomy that I decided to take a nap before I left the house. I planned on 30 minutes, and it turned into 2+ hours which had me scrambling to shower and arrive at the show on time.....and also caused me to miss one of the most exciting Kentucky Derby's (and the greatest live race call….”’RICH STRIKE!!!’…IS COMING UP ON THE INSIDE….OH MY GOODNESS!!!!…THE LONGEST SHOT HAS WON THE KENTUCKY DERBY!!) of all time.....which sorta sums up the mental fog and fatigue that descends on me when NEPA weather loses its mind, which it's been doing lately. Yet another 40 degree temperature shift, which this time brought with it 2 days of relentless rain.....and I could almost SEE the grass growing beyond the highest setting of my shitty lawn mower.
