PAGE NINE DANCE!!

[George]

My best to all of you for a delightful holiday weekend.

I’m staying home, which is all I want to do. I’m finding relaxing at home is quite the thing. I’ll post as I can.

Good night.

Enjoy your quiet weekend, Jeanne!

The heart wants what the heart wants. Or is that stomach?

[John G.]

Doc Watkins’ Christmas concert was almost a carbon copy of last year’s, except the band was better tonight.

[John G.]

They did Duke Ellington’s Sugar Rum Cherry and the sax soloist got it this year. F—- the Fox News Network. This was America at its finest.

[John G.]

The same saxophonist had a tremendous solo on Silent Night that brought the house down.

[John G.]

People know what to expect and they brought it. It was a sold-out house that was hyper enthusiastic.

[John G.]

I ran into some friends who invited me out for a drink. I accepted.

[John G.]

They were good friends with the bartender.

[John G.]

He started by mixing up a dirty martini with Plymouth gin, which I like. But I saw that he had Botanist on the shelf, which I love.

[John G.]

So I asked him why he used Plymouth. It’s perfect for a dirty martini. Botanist is for a straight up.

[John G.]

So we all enjoyed our drinks. And talked. And out came some jalapeño potato chips, which went perfectly with the saltiness of the dirty martini.

[John G.]

Suddenly a glass of Ridge Zinfandel appeared. This is an old friend I can no longer afford.

[John G.]

Meanwhile, James the bartender (yes, we’re on a first-name basis) makes up some Botanist martinis for Gary and me, which were absolute perfection in another way.

A fun piece from the concert tonight. Beethoven meets Benny Goodman

That's really good!  Thanks for sharing.

[John G.]

I’m home in one piece and still relatively sober. In 30 minutes or so, look out.

[John G.]

Gary was not. Thankfully his wife, Debbi, was driving.

[John G.]

She invited me to a tamalada in January. If you’ve ever made tamales by hand, you know how time consuming it is. But with a team, it can be fun. And full of gossip.

[George]

Have you heard of Brandon Lambert?  He's a singer-songwriter-performer and wrote this version of "Für Elise."

[John G.]

I done did my best to move us to another page.

[George]

People know what to expect and they brought it. It was a sold-out house that was hyper enthusiastic.

That's wonderful!

Ha!

Nice!

That sounds like a lotta fun.

This was (for me) one of the recommended videos following Brandon's:

Chinese Tone Twister (INSANE)

Had some oatmeal.

I hope I did the right thing. It was pretty good.

Very little nose blowing today.

CVS near me - they are literally out of everything I ordered this evening, so they do replacements that I don't want - you have to go into your order manually and select don't replace, but who remembers that?
