G&T.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

^^^ same.

Saw the Tedeschi Trucks Band last night. But first off, opening act was the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and they fucking kicked ass and took names. There are 20 year olds who wish they could rock as hard as these fuckers did. It's one of the few times I saw a big crowd actually pay attention to the opening act. As for Tedeschi Trucks, it was a great show. Lots of stuff from the Revelator album. Susan was in fine voice and showed herself to be a pretty damned good guitarist. Band included a horn section and two drummers and were really tight. As for Derek.... that kid can play a guitar. And the covers they did were my favorite - The Beatles "I've Got a Feeling", Sly Stone's "Sing a Simple Song/Wanna Take You Higher" but my favorite was an obvious tribute to his inspiration, Duane Allman, when they did "Anyday" by Derek and the Dominos, which then went into a jam that eventually evolved into the solo section from The Allman's "Blue Sky". It was beautiful and damned near brought tears to my eyes. A great show to say the least.

Debbie's Birthday week continues. Tonight we're off to see the Tedeschi - Trucks Band. Though she doesn't know that yet...

Had some spinach and cheese ravioli in a spicy sage butter sauce. Accompanied by some fresh gazpacho, it was a wonderfully light but filling meal.

Tickets to see the Senna documentary Wednesday evening.

Had some grilled tilapia with a cabbage and fennel slaw made by Debbie.

Well, to make it come full circle, I was wearing my Pliny the Elder T-Shirt today. Life's connections are so cool.

Damn straight! And after 5 beers at FFF and now G&T's I will dance for rain again tonight. Hang in there Shelly, I swear more rain is coming.

Dreadnaught. My man Peter @ FFF always pours me the adult portion instead of the half-pint. Cheers everyone!

Hang in there Brent. Yesterday, went to a friend's who home brews. Sampled 5 of his beers and really liked his Belgian Trippel. Today is the adopted as usual and then maybe drinks on the deck. This week coming up is Debbie's birthday week. Yes, it takes all week... Going to see the Senna documentary Wednesday, the Tedeschi-Trucks band Thursday and dinner out on Friday for the official birthday. Looks to be a good week.

Happy Birthday Matt! Enjoy!!

I'll join in Al. Had a couple of G&T's after work. Debbie drank a bomber of Dreadnaught all on her own, and I'm about to mix Manhattan number one. Cheers!

Nothing as good as Mikey but to honor the spirit I'm having a Redbreast 12 yr. Cheers Mikey and Fitz and Shelly!

No, I did mean the beard. What would I do with whiskey?

Sardines in hot sauce.

^^^^ This man is my motherfucking hero! I want to be like Mikey!

Get healed Brent. I just did a rain dance for Shelly. You would not have wanted to see it, but it did involve Gumballhead and Bulleit bourbon.

Between gin & vodka in the freezer and vermouth in the fridge, I feel your pain. They just don't understand what's important when it comes to fridge space...

Approved.

Getting ready to grill a couple of flat iron steaks for Debbie and I. Accompanied by some fresh green beans in butter and olive oil.

Yay Dusty's Mom! And best to all 'rents going through issues. Good thoughts for all.
