something different? maybe

                         MONDAY 9/17/18 11:19AM--I'm supposed to practice with Lou tomorrow...I probably won't have my Epi, so I'll have to use Butterscotch...In fact, I dunno when I'm gonna get it back...and there are TWO open mics happening on Tuesday, one of which is Acoustic (only?) and I wanna go to the acoustic one...it feels like where *I* go depends on where Jeff goes...or I'll just go to Crossroads and spectate...
                I don't really feel wanted anywhere...
           TUESDAY 9/1/18 9AM--I guess Lou is coming over later...I'd be happier if he wasn't...Just about the only thing I feel like doing besides sleeping and eating is investigating the new open mic at Crossroads tonight...maybe if the weather was nicer, I'd feel better...
           10:39AM--I think Lou will be gone by 2:30, if not sooner...The Hershey's Nuggets haven't awakened me yet...and Lunch will probably make me sleepy...
  3:21PM--my afternoon nap lasted thirty (30) effin' minutes--I dunno why...I THINK Jeff is finished with my Epi; we just haven't decided when to meet up so I can get it back...I was hoping it would be sometime today...
 5:23PM--got my Epi back...I THINK the only problem is that the strings are new...I AM going to the open mic tonight and I AM taking the guitar...I'm not 100% sure I'll bring it in with me...
       9:50PM--so I'm back home...Jackie needs a couple more microphones, but other than that, I had a fair amount of fun...played guitar behind Pete Looney and Mike Taylor...some people seemed impressed, including the open mic hostess...The Epi allegedly sounded good; *I* could barely hear it...again, I think if I use less muscle to play it, it will sound even better...turn it up and be gentle--that should work...
        Unusually, I haven't heard from PayPal or Barry yet...that makes me nervous...
WEDNESDAY 12:24AM--looks like I'm picking Oz up in Silver Spring after all...a bit of a pain in the ass...oh well...
7:17AM--I got the SSA money, but still haven't heard from Barry or PayPal yet...I don't feel the need to call him, at least not today...but I'm supposed to hear from Oz sometime this morning...I might not have to go to Silver Spring to get him after all...that would be helpful to me...
2:55PM--but no, I have to go get him...such is Life...
