"What's the use in worry, what's the use in hurry"

A great Dave show last night...and tonight's going to be even better! Setlist from the band's website:

Don’t Drink the Water *So Damn Lucky *Eh Hee *Water/ Wine Two Step *Proudest Monkey *Satellite *Corn Bread *Dancing Nancies *Dreaming Tree *Sledgehammer *Stay (Wasting Time) *Lover Lay Down *Drive In Drive Out *Jimi Thing *#41 *So Much To Say *Anyone Seen The Bridge *Too Much *_________ENCORE________ You Might Die Trying *Louisiana Bayou *
Show Notes: Send good thoughts for LeRoi *Jeff Coffin indicates a segue into next song

I'd never heard Dreaming Tree or Lover Lay Down live so that was pretty sweet. Ben Westfall got grinded on by a 37 year-old woman, which was pretty funny, as he kept backing away to no avail. She left the concert shortly after his rejection.

I need to start posting more regularly. Hopefully, I can get back on the posting wagon this week.

Quote of the week: "It's fair food. You don't stop eating when you're full, you stop eating when you run out of money." --Wilbe at 4H

"When flowers gaze at you"

Updating from the home of...Josh and Keri Campbell. Only a note to say, howdy from Boston. Tonight the Campbells, tomorrow Nate Deardorff. Tonight Boston, tomorrow Indiana, the next day Chicago.

It's going to be a tiring week...and it started with waking up 20 hours ago at 4:30 a.m. Although in fairness I slept almost the entire flight.

"The skin belongs to you"

Tomorrow it's off to for all intensive purposes Metro Cleveland. Horray. My Mom's cousin's child is getting married and the entire Martin clan will be there. Anyone ever heard of a 2 p.m. wedding followed by a 6 p.m. cocktail party and 7 p.m. reception?

Me neither.

Sunday is my cousin's open house in Hudson, Ohio. I only have 3 cousins, so I'm glad I can be there, if only for a little while as I fly out to Boston at 7:15 on Monday morning.

I think I wrote something similar the other day, so let's make a list instead. Things that I'm looking forward to in Summer 08 (2nd half):

• Chicago vacation with LA Rogers
• Dave Matthews Band (2 nights)
• Margot CD (and records/downloads?)
• Big Brother
• Big Brother Parties at Eileen and Kyla's house
• Tubing -- I'll be sad if that doesn't happen
• Selling my house in Ferndale
• Hanging out with friends
• Acountabillibuddies
• My other grandparents moving to Anderson

Parliament -- I challenge you to Mario Kart 64 at Clodfelders later this month. Can't wait to give you a run for your money. I used to study the tipbook back in the day.

"I spent two long years in a strange, strange land"

Things have been busy and my internet time has been replaced by drive time, thus the lack of regular updates. My day has lengthened by a full 2 - 3 hours. I used to leave for work around 8:40 and get home anytime from 5:45 to 6:30... now I leave at 7:00 sharp and return around 6:45 or 7:00. I haven't been doing too much work at home though.

4th of July was good. We spent the day in downtown Indy after driving through neighborhoods to check out houses while working our way down there. Saturday was spent at Kings Island with Wilbe and Ricky Ray, which was great. Lines were short as we were on most coasters in 30 minutes. It was a good weekend.

The next ten days won't slow down at all...off to Cleveland area for a family wedding this weekend...then Boston for a day and Chicago for several days next week.

Something tells me I'll be worn out before long.
