m a y

spent Mothers Day with my mom - Joyce was out of town. in the afternoon, Janet joined Mama and I, and the three of us had dinner at Janet's favorite watering hole. very delightful!

got to see our local soccer team play at their new stadium, as I joined my work colleagues for another after-work proximity event. and of course our team won :-)


went to see a band that I follow on FB at a local hotel.  they were very fun to watch, and during breaks the lead singer came over to talk to me.  since he's French, all I wanted to do was listen to him speak :-)  but halfway through their second set he asked if I wanted to sing along with them! don't have to ask me twice!  we sang a duet of Beyond the Sea where I sang harmony to his melody - - great fun!  also busted out some Elvis, which was very popular.

even though Janet wasn't playing - she was on a business trip - I went to see "our band" perform. I would have played this season if I hadn't moved right at the beginning of rehearsals.  awesome music, with a nautical theme.

watched the Indy 500 in my own living room for the first time in years. and it was so thrilling to see a rookie from California win!!  and all the crashes were spectacular and safe - - a good combination indeed.  and also for Memorial Day, I watched the moving and inspirational Memorial Day Concert from Washington DC.  a fine way to end the long weekend.
