This and That

My wagon is draggin' this morning. To get home from a concert after midnight is a bit on the extreme for this old lady. Then it took forever to fall asleep. Hate that.

About that concert. I was somewhat disappointed. Steely Dan has been around since the 70s and has quite the collection of well-known (at least for them) songs. Bring out the chestnuts, guys. When folks pay that much for tickets to see you, they expect the oldies-but-goodies, not the obscure side B records.

I think it's rather arrogant of a group to do what these guys did. As much as I'm bitching, I really did enjoy seeing the songs I knew performed. Quite the interesting crowd-watching too. Old rockers, music teachers, yuppies, drunks, little bit of everything.

Hated a message I had on the answering machine when I got home. Learned that one of my cousins had passed away yesterday. Just makes me sad to lose a relative. He'd been ill for months, if not years, and was in his 70s.

It's a dreary day for the most part. Work is sitting around like dirty dishes in the sink. Needs to be done. Might need to move in that direction.
