Beautiful Day

It was a beautiful day for a nice bike ride down Ocean Boulevard. Betsy and I stopped in to River City Cafe on 21st Avenue for a quick bite. The weather is cooling off just a little and summer is winding to a close. We are coming up on some great days ahead. Soon the a/c goes off, and the windows fly open to greet the fresh air. It's a good day to be alive.

RAIN

It's raining here this morning. I love the sound of the rain. I enjoy a rainy day. It makes me introspective and hopeful for some reason. It brings out my creativity. It's the kind of day that I would like to spend writing, reading, or recording. I have to go to work today, so I guess that's not going to happen. It will probably be a bit slow this morning at the store.

Tomorrow night my brother's band, Sick Stooges, is having a Christmas bash at a club called the Venue. I am going to play a short set in support of new album, Well Enough Alone. My brother Roger will be kind enough to back me up on keyboards, so technically the Yale Brothers are playing. My brother is doing double duty, because Sick Stooges are playing as well. I don't play cover tunes (I have, but I choose not to as a rule anymore), and they are a classic rock act, so there should be a nice mix of music going on. Folky, country-rock from me, and classic rock from them.
