Not totally prepared

Just driving by....stopped into my brother-in-law's new shop to use the wireless.  Some of my supplies were in the car but not all.  Looking forward to a day of NO PLANS.  OK, computer and exercise and going out to breakfast, but, other than that no plans.  Tired of being out late the last two nights.  I feel a nice listening to Prairie Home Companion night coming on.  That is my favorite Saturday night activity 6 - 8 PM.  What will I do if Garrison Keillor ever retires?!?!?  And he is of the age (around my age I do believe).

Bingo, is it worth it?  Did my yearly bingo last night.  6 hours, $50 and NO prizes.  Felt like such a loser by the end.  Most of my friends had won something.  Not that I need any more CRAP to find a place for.  But 6 hours is much longer than my attention span.  In fact, one game is longer than my attention span, especially the one where you have to completely fill in the sheet.

Attended a Sweet honey in the rock concert Thursday night in Philadelphia,  I have heard them once  (or twice).  My friend got in a funk cause they were sort of different.  Two new members, instruments in the background (they are known as an acapella group) and they sang songs from the "canon" of Odetta, Nina Simone, Miriam Makeba and Abbey Lincoln.  They did a lot of individual performing rather than all together.  One of them sang Another man done gone while playing the violin.  Other instruments were involved and a tape of thunder and lightning.  I wish I could find a video to post for you.  Forgot to mention the really nice part of the evening when my friend cooked dinner for us all before the concert.  African peanut stew (vegetarian version) was yummy.  We all brought something.
So we drove to Philly in one person's car.  Came back and got in yet another person's car to drive to MY car.  Miles to go before I sleep.
