1. It’s time for a big ol’ mug of coffee and something cinnamon-y.

2. If you really try and look at the good side of things, then there’s really something special about living at the south pole; it’s not a bad place for icy cold drinks.

3. I must be crazy for playing as many gigs as I do during the summer. (Not counting church, I have three gigs this week, three next week, and three the following week!)

4. The love of God is the best thing I have ever known. (And the love of a good woman and a good family are high on that list, too!)

5. My expertise at the breakfast griddle is simply unmatched by anyone in the world! (OK, maybe my street. Well, at least my house!)

6. The last time I laughed really loudly was a couple of weeks ago. (I was very tired, and Matthew did something inappropriate at the dinner table. What was supposed to be me being stern turned into me crying from laughing so hard!)

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to playing with Three Button Deluxe in Winter Harbor, tomorrow my plans include playing the Lobster Festival with Steelin’ Thunder in Rockland and Blind Albert in Camden, and Sunday, I want to maybe catch a quick nap before packing up more stuff at the house!

I just finished mowing the lawn. The kids are shopping with Susan. Im going to take 10 or 15 minutes, sit down, relax, and enjoy a tasty beverage. Once Susan gets home, were making sanwiches for the boys, then putting them to bed. Then, Im going to make me and the girls a nice risotto. Whats in it? Well have to wait for her to get home!

1. The seven signs as described on the History Channel last week is are not the end of the world. (They had them quite wrong, and very out of order.)

2. Sitting here, listening to the sound of rain falling, I think “C’mon! We’ve been inundated with rain for weeks! How about some sunshine! Heck, I don’t think we’ve hit 80 degrees yet. (And, incidentally, it is raining here now! It’s pouring!)

3. The Colonel’s original 11 herbed and spiced chicken tastes so good!

4. Sometimes, putting others first is the way to go. (In fact, I dare say it’s not sometimes–it’s all the time!)

5. The view from Tommy’s Island is breathtaking, really. (That’s my view of the gig we played on the 4th of July. Thanks Pam for the photo!)

6. Well, maybe there is a chance my house will sell.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to getting back from a gig in Bar Harbor, tomorrow my plans include many dump runs and a gig here in Rockland,  and Sunday, I want to not have to pack, move boxes, or go anywhere near the dump!

More Devil Dreams

It’s not the first time I’ve dreamed of the Devil. Heck, it’s only been a few weeks since my last one! I don’t remember all the details. Susan and I were moving (or helping someone move) out of a very old mansion. The house was possessed by, you guessed it, Satan.  My job was to keep him at bay until we could move out. I remember I had two very old pulpit Bibles I carried around with me everywhere. Satan wanted them for some particular reason. I remember a scene in the courtyard where the Devil was giving a “pep talk” to some of the locals. As he was talking, he was slowly turning from a human form into his more natural “devil” look. And, I remember having him trapped at one point in a room. He turned into a frog and escaped down a hole used for a heating pipe. I went one floor below, and found a Haitian looking woman packing. I asked who she was, and she replied she was a servant helping us pack. I said “Or perhaps you’re the devil in human form!” She said she wasn’t, but that she had noticed the smell of brimstone in the room a few moments before. I went into the next room, and found the Devil over there.  That’s all I remember.

1. The last thing I ate was chorizo, poblano, red onion pizza and a beer.

2. A cheap poncho is something I recently bought.

3. When it rains, it means it’s time for me to get the poncho out from under the scooter’s seat.

4. My eldest son Nathaniel was the first person I talked to today.

5. Hugs are really great, and totally share-able.

6. I have this funky egg-foam, neck cut-out pillow that provides me with extra comfort.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to turning in early, tomorrow my plans include going to the dump and playing at the club crawl, and Sunday, I want to take an afternoon nap!
