Good afternoon.

“I play great music. People like the music I play. But it’s funny because my father would not have thought about music for me. But I do. I think I have an ear for music. They play a note, like on the piano, and then I remember it to this day. And then they’d ask you other questions, and then they’d play notes later on, and they’d say, ‘Which is the note we played from one hour ago?’ And I’d, like, get it right, I guess.”

It’s been another four winery day. I am exhausted.

But, it's a good exhausted, right, John? :)

I don't know if any actual racing events are happening when I need to get downtown, but I'd rather leave real early and find parking than not be able to find close parking...again. ::)

We just watched Unconditional Love (2002) with Kathy Bates and Rupert Everett. It's quirky and unconventional and fun. Fun cameos.
