Yesterday had Jeri over for supper to help eat the puttanesca and (especially) the pistachio cake (which I "accidentally" served with "too much" whipped cream). Cooking (and especially shopping) for one is taking some getting used to... Then we went to the Nottingham library for friend Dr. Alan Eaton's talk on ticks and Lyme disease. (I hadn't known before I read the description of the talk that NH has the highest rate of Lyme disease in the country...and then found out that Rockingham County has one of the higher rates within the state, and Nottingham and a couple surrounding towns, the highest rates within Rockingham and Strafford counties.) Very informative and entertaining talk...plus we talked Alan into singing his "Tick Rap" since he had a ready-trained chorus.

Today I'm going over to a friend's to pick up where I left off (in 2009 after Tom's diagnosis of vocal cord cancer) on a t-shirt quilt made up of festival, pub, and beer (mostly Guinness) t-shirts. The Fishtraks recording studio shirt I got the night I met Tom will be the center. I don't actually quilt, so I'm cutting it out, laying it out, putting on the stabilizing backing, and other non-sewing tasks while Carol will do the actual sewing.

Yesterday I transcribed a new-found tape from the 1995 Chowder Fest -- both Tom and David Behm in their prime -- which another friend will digitize. Still hunting for a 4- track cassette player to find out what's on the other 3 tapes. (I'm hoping St. Patrick's day at the Press Room 1995.)

This morning I also started planning a recording project (me) and figured out my Atheneum set for this year's PMFF in September.
