Murphy's Law of social interaction

        TUESDAY 7/17/18 11:38AM--I found my stint as the house guitarist at the Crossroads open mic last night rather unsatisfying...as for tonight, I WANNA go to the IPO open mic tonight, but even doing not a whole lot at an open mic has taken some energy outta me...I'm sooo tempted to check with Angela to see if she's interested...my fantasy is that SHE would contact ME for directions or whatever...I wouldn't be at all surprised if, because I'm NOT going, SHE goes--and that's Murphy's Law of social interaction...she allegedly lives in Rockville, so she might already know where IOP is located...I can't guarantee that I'm gonna stay home, but I'm gonna try really hard to stay home...I don't think Dianne's going anywhere tonight, but if she does...

4PM--it's killing me that I don't have the courage to FBmsg Angela to find out if she's going to IPO tonight...I figure if she does go, she'll take photos, which may show up on FB tomorrow...the suspense is gonna kill me...maybe she'll end up at the OTWC on Thursday...all this emotion I'm wasting...I doubt if she's been thinking of me at all...as for tomorrow evening, as far as I know, Lou and I are "go" for the Agrodolcé open mic...I haven't heard anything either way...

                In Financial News, I have $24 in my pocket and the SSA check could/should be in my checking account tomorrow morning...If I don't go anywhere tonight, it will still be $24 in the morning...

            I just saw on FB that Barry and Dave (?) have a duo gig on August 11...maybe I'll sneak over there and check 'em out...but probably not...

          5PM-- I didn't really get a mid-day nap today and I'm starting to feel the effect of that loss...I can't imagine still being up at 11PM tonight...

6:21PM--when I wasn't even looking I found Angela's male companion on FB!!! that's sooo typical...I don't EVEN have the guts to send a "friend request"--pretty sure he would ignore it anyway...in fact, I would be surprised to hear from Angela (on FB) ever again...and I'm wondering if she's gonna be at IPO tonight...

8PM--feel like I'm getting that dammed 2nd wind...it's not quite as windy as usual, but still...I heard from Lou--we're still on for tomorrow...probably SHOULDN'T change strings on the acoustic...in fact, I'm gonna take Butterscotch in addition to the acoustic...last week Pete said that was OK...we'll see...

Judging from the photos I've seen so far, Angela DIDN'T go to the IPO open mic...
