Yesterday was a gift.

First day in a bit where I didn't have to do anything and got to reflect on how cool the folks are who are building community and making cool shit happen in the local music scene. Biked with Christian past Pierce Mill and to Fringe.

These days we need all the balm for our souls we can get. Like live music, in an intimate venue, sharing food and drink. Name your ticket price and that gets split between the artists and Abodes Joy, a nonprofit providing free training in house repair and restoration Tinyurl.com/Shipyard809

Friday was a gift catchup.

Mostly because I got to hang out with the Queen o'Boopsnoots. Caught up with friends. Rested up for Saturday which was the right thing to do.
