Thanks folks for the attempt. I would consider going back to Tulsa and may do that on Thu - I know of a session of sorts there, and may look into that.

Deb - you're right on. I've been going back to the hotel, nuking a sweet potato, cutting up a red cabbage salad and munching on beef jerky - while spinning through the cable channels, watching Cold Cases, Discovery Health (I think I could actually remove a bullet from an abdomen and stop the bleeding), football, soccer - and then reading my "Johnny Reb/Billy Yank" for a second time.

It's been a nice town for walking - and the weather's been kind - so that helps. But I have to say I've enjoyed the gigs. The college kids sat there like lumps - but then came and spoke to me afterwards and had questions and comments (surprised the hell out of me). The sever Alzheimer's folks today nearly brought me to tears when they sang along, loud and clear, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine ..." And the other homes have been enjoyable too. Short day tomorrow - then the high school day, which I enjoyed the last time.

Then I'm on to Lawrence KS for Saturday. This week and that Lawrence gig work well together for my travel plans.

Anyway - time to go nuke dinner!
