First off, many thanks to ElmCityDrunk for hosting drunken fun at his swinging pad last night!!! I had an extraordinary time talking against non-club volumes. We caught up, drank beer, talked Big E, drank beer, played air hockey against Allied, drank beer, listened to chiquitabonita & jawyoga squeal from the next room attempting to best each other at air hockey w/ three pucks and two deflectors apiece, drank beer and talked school stuff w/ Laerkai. Allied & I stayed on until 4:30 this morning, gushing w/ ElmCityDrunk over music. I introduced them to Jeff Buckley's demo'd songs from a few weeks before his Memphis dip... I walked away with a stack of music to groove on for the next week. In return, I think I'm going to over run ECD's CD collection w/ a number of unknown jems.

Work today was pretty nice, other than the mild hangover... I was left alone to hammer out a couple hours worth of paperwork, bopping along to my iPod fed to a boombox. Everyone was out of the house running errands, being productive and I was allowed to reaclimate to work after a well-deserved few days off.

Tomorrow I expect will somewhat similar. Fridays I support a resident at his volunteer work at a local soup kitchen. I used to bake for a living so, washing dishes, helping out in a commercial kitchen is a treat. It also reminds me of AmazonRed13's comment about me in the past - Given a chance, there isn't a grandma on the face of the planet who wouldn't love me to death. Seeing how the soup kitchen is staffed by a dozen or more little old ladies, I am always recalled as 'that nice young man who works with Henry'.

Tonight's plans are baking salmon steaks w/ leftover salsa and maybe a citrus reduction sauce and basmati rice. I also want to fiddle around w/ chiquitabonita's iMac that was loaned to me to heal.
