Irondequoit canceled this weekend’s Winterfest due to extreme cold. Kathy called us to warn us that you can get frostbite in single digits. We stopped out to see my brother, Fran, who had just had a shoulder operation. His pain blockers hadn’t worn off yet so he was in good spirits. He used to work outside year round and he said, “I tell people there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.” It is Peggi’s birthday today and we went skiing.
This is good weather for diagramming sentences. Not sure how we got off on that tangent but we did. I wonder if they still teach diagraming. I loved how it made sentence structure concrete and fun.
One woman bought six Margaret Explosion cds after our gig on Thursday. She paid with PayPal. Someone who I used to play soccer with came to the gig with his wife and he gave me this picture. He is shown kneeling in front of me in the center of the photo. He was a year ahead of me and I hadn’t seen him since junior year. I reminded him we used to sled on the tiny hill in his backyard and my brother Tim got his tongue stuck to the front of his sled and he walked all the way home with it stuck. Since I have mentioned both my brother Tim and my brother Fran I’ll post a link to my first Super 8 movie. They star in it along with my brother, John.
