Working day shift, here at the kitchen table. Elmer, Ebbie and Ron work the graveyard shift.

Over here, it's pouring like crazy and has been all day. We had a wonderful weekend planned (all out doors) and everything is cancelled. Tonight, Ruth, Joe (our Best Man when we got married and the Gospel Messengers bass singer) and I were going to hear the 15 year old jazz pianist who performed with the male chorus I sing in. He was going to do a concert with his quartet, but it's been cancelled because of the rain. It's kinda sweet that he's doing full concerts with his quartet but isn't old enough to drive.

Tomorrow is Derby Day, here in Derby. It's and all afternoon an evening event in and around the town square, with music, food, music, food, crafts, and food. We lived here 4 years and this was the first time that we were free to go to it. Now, everything has been cancelled but the boat races..

So what's a fella to do? put on some music, burn some CDs for friends, have a leisurely dinner with my beautiful wife, put on a movie and have a romantic evening.

So, who's complaining? Sounds great to me... all the pleasures of life without having to leave your home...
