I had a little adventure while driving to Albany last Friday. @Ahhh Girl this happened about 2 hours after we spoke on the phone.

A little adventure? Sheesh you’re lucky to be alive! Once on a trip to Florida a big piece of tread was in the road. I saw it well ahead, but each car that passed it moved it a couple feet. Traffic was pretty heavy, and I ended up having to straddle it – the odometer/speedometer cable was knocked out. I think you’re right that the wheel was still in it because typically you just see tread (coming off retreads) – it’s more likely a wheel would come off than an entire tire in one piece, I think. And running into a semi wheel would not be pretty!

As far as what’s going on in my life, we just celebrated our 6 month anniversary 🙂 My wife’s had trouble finding a job that agreed with her, so we’ve had a lot of time together. A lot of truly wonderful time – the rest of the world just disappeared, we lost track of everything in our lives except ourselves (well, and other family). We’re lucky enough that money wasn’t a big issue, and finally Doris has found a job that seems compatible.

*the obscure topic was the Paul tour, and yes, we started talking about hoping Paul would tour near us in the first 48 hours we were reunited. Sure enough, one fairly close was announced and we scored two floor seats, in the first row of the 2nd section of seats, so there will be space in front of us. We’re really psyched, and even gave up our 2-day minivacation at Abbey Road on the River to raise the funds. July 10th is the day. We’re also seeing John Fogerty on the 20th of this month 🙂

One thing I’ve been spending time on (outside the flat 😉 is volunteering for political causes. I’ve done a fair bit of campaigning, and even donations (I’m slightly under the $27 average – which should give away who I’m working for 😉 – In 35 years of voting (and before) never volunteered or given money – I did get to shake President and Roslyn Carter’s hands when they spoke at our school in the 1980 campaign, woot (Jimmy is a very cool guy though). And I’m taking the “Revolution ” to heart – I met a guy who’s running for state representative, his first elected office. Hes running against a tea-partier (that’s an ultraconservative splinter group of Republicans who lead the Republican increases in both the House & Senate in 2010). David does not accept contributions from corporations or the Democratic party – he (and us intrepid volunteers) are trying to knock on as many doors as possible. His district was redrawn by the Republicans by adding an entire country of conservative farmers to a traditionally urban, liberal district – making the district vote very differently as a whole.

So, life is good – wonderful in fact! I hope things are well with y’all 🙂 I’ll be around some at least. I guess you could say there’s a new time sink in my life – yes, more important than a music discussion group – not sure if its more important than music itself though! Mostly good things, but some negatives, like more cleaning (the horror!). We’ll be moving on July 1 – Doris has a 25 minute commute each way (I know, not much if you live in a big city, but we can afford a nicer place within 5 minutes) and she works 10.5 hour days, so while she gets sent home early about half the time, at least a couple days a week shes gone 11.5 hours just for work! 

And I’m rambling…one last thing, our favorite thing to do “out”? Go have dinner and see live music, either country, blues, rock, folk, or some combination thereof.  Match made in heaven? nah…;) I do need to go cuddle with my honey, she has to get up for work in 2 hours…

Peace & Love 🙂
