Rachael Ray's party was a bit like SXSW in general this year, a little quieter, a little more low-key.

The food at her house party was her recipe for pulled pork and coleslaw. today it was brisket. Instead of Patron Tequila, local Deep Eddy Vodka was at the bar with the free drinks. The best snack was actually a salad topper: bags of dried cherries and walnuts.

Ray was there for the performance of her husband, John Cusimano, with his band, The Cringe. That's where the best bling of what I attended came from. I got two versions of the band's T-shirt and their latest album, on vinyl and on CD.

I walked out with all that and three bags of those cherries and walnuts.

And now, I'm off to bed.

Good night, all.

That's pretty cool, John. Good night.

I tried a new topical pain reliever today, Uncle Bud's Topical Pain Relief. It's made from hemp oil (CBD). It did help with the pain, but it has an odor I don't like. It's not a strong odor, but my fave Arnica Rub has virtually none and is also effective. Arnica Rub is also much cheaper.

I am, however, pleased to see new products from CBD, especially for pain. Soooo many people suffer and now doctors are being told to be more restrictive. What's a person to do?

An Ashland friend was telling us she doesn't like the smell of the cream either so has cannabis in chocolate, though you need to be able to trust the source. Then there is the right amount to relieve the pain without affecting your brain. It sounds complicated. Too bad the cream stinks.

This cream's odor isn't that strong. I just don't like it. Some people might have no issue with it at all, but I am sensitive to odors. I also have an alternative, the Arnica Rub. If I were in pain with NO alternative, I would definitely use Uncle Bud's.

There are many CBD products on the market and I imagine they are all somewhat different. You might like one, but not another.

If it's CBD only. ie, no TCH, you won't get high from it. In the case of the chocolate you could put on some pounds while waiting for it to take effect.

Considering how much chocolate I eat it probably won't make me gain weight, not that I plan on trying any. Knowing me I doubt I would like the qualutof the candy.

If I do adopt a dog, it will be one weighing between 30 and 45 lbs, and it must get along with cats. On today's ACC adoption site, these dogs all appeal to me.
Scooter, 2 yrs, 33 lbs.
Ronnie, 4 yrs, 42 lbs.
Spot, 1 yr, 38 lbs.
But I do not know their cat status.

And then there's 35 lb. Mia in adoptions with Wizard of Paws Rescue!

I went to a place in Austin last night called ABGB, Austin Beer Garden and Brewery. One of their brews, the American pale ale, is a fundraiser for one of the animal shelters. They also featured dogs really in need of adoption on a huge wall that you couldn't miss. And they marked which ones had been adopted. I was really pleased to see this from a local business and was glad to discover the fundraiser since i had ordered the pale ale beforehand.

Nice.

One of my favorites was Linda Gale Lewis, Jerry Lee Lewis' sister. I saw her twice with Robbie Fulks, and they closed out the second performance with "Great Balls of Fire." She plays keyboards like her brother and even hiked up her right leg so she could kick out some of the notes with her heels.

I had no idea he had a talented sister.

And now, we're at the last scene.

Tonight we watched THE MEG with Jason Statham.

Now we are watching an episode from a quirkly Canadian sitcom, CORNER GAS. Has anyone seen it?

Last night we saw Celine Dion. Again, I loved some of the songs but not all. I think her speeches about how much she loves the audience are a little over-the-top, but maybe she's really being sincere.

Does she still say the line about what a nice intimate venue this is. (4,000 seats). No one laughed, so we figured she was serious, and my Mom looked around at the vast theater in wonder.

I guess she was used to playing 20,000 seat theaters.

Meaning Celine, not my mom.

FJL · « **Reply #136 on:** March 16, 2019, 09:25:50 PM »

After seeing "O" the night before, and loving it so much, maybe Celine was a let-down in terms,s of spectacle, since back then (2003) so much of the set was projections. Really great projections, but not real sets like "O." When I saw "Cher" in 2008 there, there was a lot more actual set.

Mom and I got caught for what felt like hours but was likely just seconds on what they called the IIRC "kiss-cam" (?) at the Colpsseum and it's possible they thought we were just a younger man-older woman couple, quite normal for the crowd. I just kissed Mom on the cheek and started waving until they went on to the next unsuspecting people to terrorize. (Actually, the actual couples really seemed to enjoy being onscreen.)

If I am correct you like Statham then I think you would enjoy it.

Yes, we liked it.

Back from a rather great dinner, an excruciatingly bad show, and a fun snack after.
