PRIDE N JOY!

"Music, the greatest good that mortals know,and all of Heaven we have below." JOSEPH ADDISON

aloha,
SOUL MATE is on two music mailing lists...PRIDE & JOY (classic funk,r&b) and THE SUNDOGS (zydeco). we will travel within a 90miles radius if free and slightly less if tickets are affordable.

PRIDE & JOY played for free in Menlo Park yesterday.
as an added incentive it's within a kidney stone's throw of Stanford Hospital!
so we ventured forth into the deepest darkest heart of Silicon Valley, got lost in a maze of freeways and franchiseland outlets and parked only three minutes later than our goal of 5.30, the band started playing as we got out.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME!
there were a street fare in progress so there were kids, oreo couples aplenty, young and old all happy at one time.it felt like being back in Bezerkeley minus all the political squabbles.if you can't tap your feet during a P&J concert than you should head for the graveyard cuz you're simply moribund (sp?)

later we got lost in the mtns coming home, took an involuntary narrow windy roads tour of BIG BASIN Park, home of more redwoods and rolled into s cruz around eleven pm.THE SANTA CRUZ DINER is open 24/7 if you're ever in town.so we bucked the crowd and i got a CAPITOLA OMELET 9ham,bacon & cheddar) with has browns and sourdough toast and SM got a safe turkey sandwich after being told they were out of all veggie plates & combos,SM noted there were 12 servers on duty all work their tails off.i was impressed when peeps wider & fatter than me waddled in for comfort food or their great desserts. we are normally NEVER out on weekends, too many drunks and tourist 'acting da fool'.SIGH.

so we had a weekend to remember as today i soak my crip apparatus-knee braces, new apnea mask, watsu swimsuit etc etc.next month THE SF MIME TROUPE is in town with their latest stage productions (always free) and we shall be there too-hopefully.

BTW
to MY EX-THE MIRAGE..i will do my best....

BTW 2
and tell Z Man there is no shame in losing, only in NOT trying. only in SPECIAL OLYMPICS is EVERYBODY A WINNER (snark).
