all's well that ends well

       SATURDAY 7:50PM--just got in from the Ray Benefit gig...I wanted to get there before 1:30, but I missed it by about five minutes...I set up and went to keep Dianne company until our friends Sue and Mike arrived...I was kinda surprised when Ray called me up onstage right away...my guitar playing was (initially) atrocious, but once I warmed up, I did pretty good...maybe because I didn't THINK about my throat, I went for some high notes and hit 'em...Dianne said she could hear the high notes I was singing--that's good enough for me...*I* couldn't quite hear 'em, but it don't matter now...
              There were a couple of breaks; the band TIPSC played a set...a guy I hadn't seen since High School somehow--and I still don't know how--apparently knows Ray...he did a few songs...some other friends of Ray's did some numbers...a certain girl I spotted on FB who "fascinated" me did show up...She and I have a friend (besides Ray) in common...so I had her send a Facebook message to that friend...that was fun...Overall, I think we did a good job...I gave Dianne the $20 bucks Ray gave me...Frankly, from what I could hear of my harmonies, they were pretty damn good...
            Sue and Mike were there, for a couple of hours...The gig ended at about 5:30...I guess I kinda took my time packing up...I think we left Pirates' Cove at about 6:15, more or less...we stopped at High's where we both got something to munch on--I got a mini-sub...we also stopped at Rita's and both got a Chocolate ice thingie...
                      Sunday I don't have any plans whatsoever...except to work on the dishes...that shouldn't take all day...I may or may not have plans for Monday and/or Tuesday...and if I don't, that's OK too...
   10:22PM--I dunno where it came from but suddenly, I've got a second wind...that sucks...ready or not, I think I'm going to bed at 11PM...
        It's weird...for about seven hours, Cara, Angela, the OTWC, Barry, Michelle, etc.didn't exist...it was kinda refreshing...
SUNDAY 10:22AM--still recovering physically and emotionally from yesterday's gig with Ray et al...kinda have to keep reminding myself that I'm back in G-burg...I'm surprised there aren't more photos from the show--two so far I think and no videos yet...maybe I'm being impatient...
  5:36PM--finally got the mid-day nap...went to the grocery store...now I'm back home, and I don't feel like doing anything...as far as I can remember, I haven't made any plans for tomorrow...allegedly there's a Combustibles rehearsal on Tues--I kinda hope not; I figure If *I* go to IPO, Angela won't...and if I can't/don't, then she'll be there...I'm supposed to play alongside Jeff Jones, but he hasn't sent me any files yet...maybe (hopefully) he has changed his Mind...Barry is also playing that night, but he hasn't said ANYTHING to me about it...
7:45PM--reading some, Facebooking some, just going back and forth between the two, killing time...whether I want to or not, I'll probably make it to 11PM, more or less...
