A Little Bit of This

A Little Bit Of That

I’d planned to write about this one thing today, but it didn’t quite pan out. So I switched to my back up thing, but I couldn’t figure out art for it so that went onto the back-burner as well.

And now’s the time to get this done, and remember that post I made a while ago about how the system here works and I never run out of things to write about? Technically, I suppose, writing about not having something to write about is still a THING to write about so I have that covered.

Anyway, I figured I’d just start free-writing it and you’ll all be able to see how my brain works in real time.

Actually, now that I think about it, here’s an interesting follow up - last week, I wrote a bit about my hometown library, the place my mother took me when I was a kid and then later I got my first library job as a page. This would be the early 80s.

A really nice lady by the name of Sarah Menard Janis sent me this picture today, circa 1995 of her dressed up at Halloween behind the circulation desk of the Cheektowaga Library. This is the first picture I’ve seen of the place since I worked there and besides the computers, I do remember that view - that big lobby, the newspaper rack to the right of the vestibule. It’s amazing what little pieces of history people have sitting around their house.

Speaking of amazing, by the time you’re reading this, I’ll be preparing to go see a former Beatle, Pete Best at Tupelo Music Hall. I’m not sure what I’m getting myself into exactly, but this will be the first concert I’ll be attending solo in, well, maybe forever. My little sidekick, who I’d add is a huge fan of the Beatles, just sort of crinkled her nose at seeing the original drummer. I’m so used to the massive amount of planning that goes into a show when it’s the two of us that the thought of just getting in a car and casually going to a show is sort of strange. We’ll see. I’ll let you know tomorrow.

Oh and one of those things I’m going to write about actually has to do with tomorrow. March 23 is Near Miss Day! What the heck does that mean, you may ask. Well stay tuned, I’ll tell you later this week.

Until then, I’ve rambled long enough. I’ll get it together and see ya tomorrow!
