sevenish....and outside it's just stopped raining. After weeks of hot and dry weather we have had a gray day and rain. sort of monsoonish. I wanted to go outside and stand in it. Soon enough I guess 'cause soccer practice is coming up in just minutes. It's August. Another month to be astonished in ! We're past the craziest part of the year thank heaven! Friday I'm taking a day off. And we're taking the crew and going to Astoria on Saturday on the excursion train. Lovely. Time to wander around that town which increasingly charms one.
Last weekend was the FC77 Goat Party....at Rob and Eva's. What a hoot! Goat on the rotisserie. Don declaiming the virtues of one and all after a serious round of tsipero. Beer. More beer. Families and the players themselves. A nice afternoon. The only thing missing was soccer.
Saw in the paper today that a fella is doing a Humanities Grant piece on Vortex, gov. McCall's state sponsored rock festival which was thirtyish years ago. That brings back memories. I was only at Vortex for a day- an afternoon we went out there to try to persuade people to abandon the drugs and rock and roll in the country and join us in the city for the People's Army Jamboree, from the inception of which Vortex had sprung. Different times. Dangerous times. I must write down these stories...sometime soon. Before I forget. Or it's illegal to talk about them.
Yes. Well, now it is time to go to soccer practice. Ciao.
