today was the first pugs practice in a while. we actually weren't too bad. i was pleased. it was fun. ky gave me some tracks for "the magical egg," which included some sax. he's come up with such cool sax parts. just little punctuating riffs, not intrusive at all. just adding some flavor. mayhaw and i love it. part of me wants sax on every song, but it's probably better if it's just four songs, to make it special when it appears from the wild brown yonder.
this weekend alyssa and i are cat-sitting for my parents in hood river. they're going to wallowa to check in on my grandma heidi in the wake of my uncle paul dying. he was also her caretaker (paid by the state to boot), and even though she has a new caretaker now, it's pretty rough for her no doubt. she and paul lived mere blocks from each other for as long as i can remember. they were close personally as well. he was the only family my grandma had nearby. she's almost 90 now too, and she still is totally with it and spunky. she's a spicy german, and freaking grew up in WWII germany. i haven't seen her since 2004. i want alyssa to meet her before she dies too. she's doing well though; i wouldn't be surprised if she lived past 100. germans have some good genes i think. no wonder hitler thought they were the master race! (please don't flag me for that, NSA or homeland security. it was a joke. A JOKE. FUCK.)
what's a bum bag?
