Yo.
Haven't been on the blog. Been melancholy. Dunno why.
Maybe it's post kick-ass concert bringdown.
I went and saw Guitar God Robin Trower at the House of Blues in Orlando and again at Jannus Landing in St. Pete over the weekend the very next night.
It was phenomenally successful and Trower rocked what I laughingly call my face.
I say it was successful in the fact that I achieved my objective in jamming to Trower Live on two consectutive nights. He was awesome. Again. And again.
It was less successful as certain persons that I really wanted to go with me (that I really wanted to turn on to the genius that is Trower) that were scheduled to attend... were not able to.
Their reasons are varied, including, but not limited to, influenza, prior commitments and just not being that much into me.
Still I had an awesome time with me and would attend such an event with me again, should the moment ever present itself. I like my own company. And at this rate, I'd better.
So now it's Thursday and I am melancholy.
My mother's been gone a year, the anniversary (if you could call it that) was last week.
My parent's 50th wedding anniversary is tomorrow.
My Mom's birthday is Valentine's Day.
My Dad's birthday is a week after.
Gonna need some cold ones in between.
This cheap new Walgreens beer really kicks ass.

Let's see. This Tuesday makes 6 years since I lost Lisa. The 1 year mark for mom and dad falls on June 13 and May 21 respectively. Dad ALWAYS said that mother comes first, so I honor him by placing her first. They had their 58th wedding anniversary on December 28th of last year. I took them out to dinner at an upscale place I use in downtown DeLAND and management was BEYOND cool about it. The sign at the head of the table said,Reserved for Shirley and Clyde, Happy 58th Anniversary. I lost it. These people can have my business till the day I join my sister and my parents! I do look back, if just to remind myself how damn good I had it and for how long. The 3 of them would be pissed at me if I let their passing keep me from having MY life. I think that we have gained much more common ground in the last 6 years than in all of the ones before. We shoulder a mutual burden. Anytime mi amigo!
