not the same, but close



                THURSDAY 5/24/18 10AM--Ray and I will apparently be doing a duo gig or two in the near future...I haven't heard from Barry lately...for all *I* know, the Combustibles may be a thing of the past...and I'm OK with that...as for the open mic at the OTWC tonight, I could go either way--I suppose I could go there and not play; I don't mind not playing when it's MY idea...I don't think Dianne is going anywhere tonight...
     And  yet here I am at the OTWC on a Thursday night… I was specifically asked to participate;   so, for better or worse, I will be playing after the house band’s opening set...and I’m nervous about it... The guy that’s playing guitar now seems to be so much better than me--possibly because he plays out more than I do; I AM tired already... and  getting more nervous by the minute… I should never have agreed to come out tonight…

 FRIDAY 5/25/18 1:35AM--just got in from the OTWC open mic...got to play a bunch...the official house guitarist gave me $20 bucks...I refused it at first, but ultimately accepted Paul's generosity...I had a considerable amount of fun...and played pretty well IMO...yes, I'm glad I went out last night...but I need time to recover...at least all of the rest of today...I think you can tell how self absorbed a singer is by whether or not they throw you any solos...thanks for nothing Arlene...

NOON--considering I've gone out three nights in a row, I feel pretty good...I have NO PLANS whatsoever to go out tonight, and probably not tomorrow night either...feeling rather euphoric over my night at the OTWC...let's see how long that lasts...

5:30PM--in spite of all the napping, or maybe because of it, I'm really sleepy right now...I can't imagine still being up at 11PM...might even be in bed by 10PM...

10:43PM--take a second wind, add sugar and suddenly it's 11PM...

SATURDAY 10PM--went to have Dinner with the ex-in-laws...had a burger...I don't know what's going on tomorrow...*I* don't wanna do much of anything; Dianne wants to do something...how do we compromise THAT? On the other hand, I need to go to Unique Thrift Store and get a pair of cargo shorts...
