JohnS Posted March 7 Posted March 7 This weekend is a busy one. I just came back from a Men's breakfast event at church. I provided the cinnamon and salted caramel mini scrolls. They all went because the bakery I got them from do them fresh. Did I have one? No, I'm very much committed to the Fat Bastid competition right now. Still, I was happy to help out. Today we have a family gathering for our niece's 19th birthday and after that we have a family dinner with my son, his future wife and his future father-in-law. So yeah, that we be a significant thing, no doubt! Tomorrow, I helping out at church on bass and sound desk and then I'm running off soon after to attend the Champagne Masterclass. Sunday night I need to do schoolwork to prepare for the upcoming week. Hey, it can't be all fun and games, can it? 4

John, i would have thought at church, you might get dead sea scrolls but caramel mini scrolls (i don't even know what they are)?? see you tomorrow. as a kid at my school, we had to do the confirmation thing, which required attendance at church every sunday. we had a priest who gave the longest and most boring sermons in history. most services ran near two hours. excruiating. and definitely had the opposite effect to what was intended. if we had done sound checks back then, i'd haver volunteered. i'd have turned it all off. i do remember one good thing. i always sat next to a window so i could look at at a dirt wall which ran down one side of the outside of the church. a small bird started building a tunnel to breed in it. i believe a spotted pardalote. fascinating to watch its progress, then the youngsters, over all those interminable months. that was cool. i digress. 1 1
Popular Post chasy Posted March 7 Popular Post Posted March 7 The newspaper + cigar + Negroni combo is pretty appealing. With a 3 year old and a 1 month old, that ain’t happening for the next several years (not to mention I want more kids). I was also inspired by @El Presidente 100 day hiatus from drinking alcohol. I decided to do the same back in June and sure enough, it’s been 9 months. Im going to give it at least a full year. But boy oh boy do I miss a cocktail and a glass of wine… 5
Popular Post Ford2112 Posted March 7 Popular Post Posted March 7 Bike rides. Steelhead fishing in the morning. Hanging out with my oldest friend Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning is my Dad's memorial . After that I will probably hang out with a few friends. Then I will likely sleep in Monday. 6
JohnS Posted March 7 Posted March 7 18 hours ago, NYGuido said: I didn’t know you’re a bassist! Freaking rad! More like a multi-instrumentalist, which is less common, as is my son. Drums, keyboards, guitar and bass. I consider playing each instrument well akin to being fluent in different Latin-based languages such as French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. You know, they have their similarities, yet they are very, very different went you want to do them well. 3
gillmiller Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Very quiet weekend with the family — barbecue on Friday evening, a walk in nature on Saturday, and board games with the kids today. It’s always nice to slow things down and enjoy the moment a bit. Conversations like this remind me of checking Waco Tribune Herald reviews , where people share what they’re up to and what’s worth doing. Got anything specific planned or just taking it as it comes? Either way, hope it turns out to be a good one. Sometimes the simple weekends are the best. 1
