Is that Heart in the photo?
Yes! The Wilson sisters. They came to my school my freshman year. I didn’t have $ to go see them 😭. In my world. Ann Wilson is in the top 3 female voices for the RockRushmore. Patsy Cline, Karen Carpenter would round out that top three. Always a good debate though…

Dart night. The world revolves around getting there. Got a haircut yesterday…almost look presentable…almost.

The MZ today is Santana performing at Woodstock. The pic is Carlos and bassist David Brown. That performance is widely considered historic as were several other for that venue, but this one stands out. Keyboards were Greg Rollie, later of Journey fame. Drummer David Schreive was only like 17 yrs old and his mom had to sign off on him traveling from San Fran!

Just so you’ll get a feel for the vibe!

 
Did you go up on Cemetary Ridge and look out over the field! Then there is the little known Columbia Wrightsville bridge. I drove by the remanants of the piers many times and never knew what it was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia–Wrightsville_Bridge,
Yes. I’ve posted this story before, so if ya heard it…well, yer gonna hear it again! 🤣

We ended up doing the self guided tour back when you had CeeDee players in the car. Took our time and ended up staying three days, doing a little bit a day. My favorite memory was when we were at the Devils Den. Perched on a rock was maybe a 13 yr old girl with a flute. Her parents standing off a ways. She was playing the Battle Hymn of the Republic…perfectly I might add! The sun was setting and she was silhouetted by the sun.

I get goosebumps thinking of it still…
 
Hope you’re feeling better soon. Hot shower or dip in a tub maybe? We need you well girl!
I am good... hot shower did my makeup put on the glad rags and got to work... visiting and presenting at somc (hospital) about major depressive disorder and dementia

I did however go the wrong way down a one way street driving from the breakfast spot to the hospital...... ooops
 
Wat is picking up speed. Got the floor replacement planks pretty much done, which is good because we're out of material save for a 30" piece left over. There's some molding left to run, and Wat'll need a brad nailer. And probably a large multi-tool. Good thing is, he uses this stuff regularly enough, so having to spring for it won't hurt as badly is it would a Normal Person, which Wat is not. But that is some well-butchered wood he done left over there today.

Painter and thrift store pick-up tomorrow. We'll see how the paint prices work out.
