Still moving forward with the redecorating project(s). This past weekend we got the guitar wall in the office/studio done. Thanks to Loren Johnson for the oak millwork. I’m very happy with how this turned out!
A personal fave came on the ol’ iTunes first thing this morning. A fine cautionary tale from Mick, Keith and the boys.
Sway
Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time
It’s just that demon life has got you in its sway
It’s just that demon life has got you in its sway
Ain’t flinging tears out on the dusty ground
For all my friends out on the burial ground
Can’t stand the feeling getting so brought down
It’s just that demon life has got me in its sway
It’s just that demon life has got me in its sway
There must be ways to find out
Love is the way they say is really strutting out
Hey, hey, hey now
One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah
It’s just that demon life has got me in its sway
It’s just that demon life has got me in its sway
It’s just that demon life has got me in its sway
Depasta and I took in a AAA baseball game between the Nashville Sounds and the Colorado Springs Sky Sox last evening in Nashville, Tennessee. The Sounds trounced the Sox handily, mainly due to a poor outing by Sox pitcher Victor Zambrano. It was Organ Donor night and tickets were two-for-one for organ donors. So, after completing the paperwork and getting out of post-op … I’m kidding! ! ! . . just had to show them the Organ Donor symbol on my license. Anywhich, we walked into Greer Stadium, a dilapidated fire-trap of a place built in 1978. The announced attendance was 2,208, which seemed about 2,000 higher than than the number of fans we estimated were there. I may be just spoiled by the fine, recently renovated confines of Security Service Field in the Springs, but Greer is looking pretty ragged. “In recent years, the Sounds have been attempting to work out an agreement with the city in order to build a new ballpark to replace Greer. The aging stadium was not meant to last longer than 30 years, and is now showing its age. As one of the oldest stadiums in the league, it now falls well below the standards set for a Triple-A stadium by organized baseball.” says the article in Wikipedia. However, you can get a “Cup of Cheese” at the concession stand. We declined that delectable treat, but Depasta did partake of the wonderful Fried Baloney Sandwich. Here is a shot of their trademark (shaped like a geetar, y’all) scoreboard from our seats along the first base line :
