Think I'm gonna spend a few days with my family to step outside of my own problems for a few days. My last few live experiences have not been as pleasing as I'd hoped, and now the G Tones are about to take a hit with the resignation of our bass player, Karlin, and possibly me too.
And I don't know what's going on with the Usual Suspects as I was told on the phone earlier this morning not to come to practice today because they have another keyboard player who's rehearsing today to fill in for me on a gig I can't make while I'm up in Massachusetts. And they already have a new drummer I haven't met, somebody stepping into the shoes of the guy who quit shortly after our last gig and then fired off a bunch of grouchy e-mails.
But I can put all this behind for a few days and go visit, among others, my mom and dad. My mom is fresh off her birthday yesterday, and they have kindly offered, as they always do, to let me stay over at their place for a couple days. My parents have been eager to double-team me on the phone the past few days, in anticipation of my visit, to talk to me about how I'm doing since I've been unemployed.
Then also up there in PA is my aunt with cancer, whom I would like to see again and again in what are probably her last few weeks or months. And I'm also supposed to meet up with my high school-educated niece who has just moved out of her parents' place and into her first apartment. I'd like to try talking her back into college. She had planned on going a while back, but life got in the way, and now I don't know if she's been thinking of it at all. Oh, and her uncle is one to talk. Look at all of the wonderful things he is doing with his college degree right now.
