I did not go to the Fest yesterday, the reason is simple, Tin needed a day off and a good nap. Everyone and their mother said wake him up and get him out here. But I didn’t. And so the Fest came to me, like a magnet, I walked out on the porch and suddenly, one came then another then another. Happy LaLa Fest. Tin was woken up by his two gal pals – Mignon…
Yesterday, I was so tired that I fell asleep at the dining room table as my friend was showing me something on the computer. Then I laid on the sofa and went into a coma nap. Then I went to bed relatively early (10 pm) but I woke up at 4 am and it was not over! Today is the 6th day of Jazz Fest but I spent the morning making pancakes for Tin and…
Ain’t this the truth: May 07, 2011 Taurus (4/20-5/20) Every time you get rid of an old idea, assumption or unwanted item, you make room for a new influx of energy and growth. Today you could use a big dose of freshness, so see what you can do to empty a few closets (emotional and bedroom alike). Whether you toss a relationship, grudge or old sweater, you’ll immediately feel a sense of freedom and relief.…
Yesterday unlike Jazz Fest past, we went about our normal day. I worked, Tin played with Margarete, and took a three hour nap, and then at 5pm we loaded up to go to the Fest. Rest, fed, and ready to roll. We went straight to the Kid’s Tent to see Gal Holiday & The Honky Tonk Revue. Then we went by to hear Willie Nelson at Gentilly, Greg Allman at the Blues Tent, Arcade Fire…
So we went to see Femi Kuti at the House of Blues this evening and he was INSANE. The eldest son of Feli Kuti, the entire band was moving so fast through the music that we, the audience, couldn’t catch our breath. At one point, I thought surely this man cannot continue to go at this speed, but he did. My friend turned to me and said this is me walking down the street and…
This morning I was trying to get Tin out of the crib so that he could Skype with Tatjana and Tete and he was fussing as he is want to do when he doesn’t want to get out of the crib and he doesn’t want to be doing what you want him to, and I was huffing and puffing and so he threw up his hands and said JESUS! JESUS! I almost fell over from…
Tin and his nanny were into water colors yesterday and made several wonderful drawings – here is one of them: Last night, Tin received three piano books that were the same books my friend had when he was a little boy and he now is grown up and plays the piano beautifully. When I was watching Tom McDermott play the keyboard at CWW last night, and Meschiya Lake belting out Bessie Smith’s Black Water Blues…
I had a Thai massage the day after my birthday as a treat to myself and I was telling the woman about the person who regularly massages me and she said wait, is that Doody? and I said yes, and she said someone described her massage as fantastical – which reminded me of Dr. John. This evening a colleague arrived and we went to see Tom Mcdermott and Meschiya Lake at Chickie Wah Wah and…
