City Mouse/Country Mouse

Had a lovely time webcamming with Malena last night and talking over plans and music and ideas, probably for far to long, as far as our families are concerned, hee-hee. We have also determined that this time for SURE, I am coming out on the 24th of January. Things have been so hectic thru the holidays and company and my other bands and work that we keep having to put off our time together, but now we have set in in stone . ( Tombstone knowing us )

( I am to the point, if you remember the blog of a few days ago, where I would go to LA even if she weren't going to be there, if only to get some SUN and LIGHT for a day or two!!!! )

We had kind of a funny moment last night where she spoke of driving to Disneyland and there on the freeway, on the other side , fortunately, were a dozen police cars shooting it out with another motorist. I was properly aghast of course, and she laughed and told me that it would not even make the news.

City Mouse.

I live outside small town. We do not have a newspaper, but several towns over they do , being bigger than us, and in this newspaper they have something called " What the Police Did in the Way of Crime Stopping This Week " which I like to read to keep up on all the " news" . I thought I might share with you the lead story.

" a call was made to the Police asking that they come and remove a dead squirrel from the sidewalk. When the officer responded, it was found that it was not a dead squirrel but a tuft of dried grass which had been dislodged while shoveling"

Hello????????????

Ok, two questions spring to my mind. One, who calls the POLICE to remove a dead squirrel from your sidewalk???? I mean, a shovel? A plastic bag? Even here don't the police have more pressing matters to attend to? And Two, if you were so far removed from dealing with daily life that you DID need to call the police to remove a dead squirrel from your sidewalk, wouldn't you first make SURE that what you had was indeed a dead squirrel and not a TUFT OF GRASS???????

Country Mouse.

( I believe Malena is still laughing about this. LA girl finds my life pretty amusing sometimes )

I am off in a couple of hours to play my first gig alone with Paul. ( At Charlie's in Stillwater, I think I mentioned it !! ) I think it is going to be lot of fun, and very amusing for both performers and audience. We have some ideas and some new songs and tho Paul doesn't know it yet ( hopefully he won't read this blog ) he has a new Celtic Bouzouki that I just bought for him for Xmas.

Wish us luck!!!!

Love and LIGHT,
