Things to remember for next trip — check the dates of spring break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s definitely affected hotel selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laying half-awake thinking about a lot of things. I fell asleep yesterday afternoon. Big springtime thunderstorm. Nothing I really wanted to do. Let the medication I’d left behind course through my system, and sleep. What should have been a two-hour nap ended up being about six and a half. Oops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it was fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dinner was okay. I ordered a gin Martini. He didn’t understand what it was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Um.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martini. Made with gin. Not vodka. Martini.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n ..<\/p>\n\n\n\n You want it with Crown, not Jack?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n MARTINI. GIN. NO DARK LIQUOR.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh<\/em>. *scurries away*<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Probably because he didn’t have a clue about what a Martini was, he didn’t ask what I’d like in it. The bartender also sent two shot glasses — one containing lime, one containing four pimento-stuffed olives. (I used the former, if that’s of any interest at all to anyone….not like anyone’s reading this, anyway…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n But back to the somewhat-incomprehensible at this point title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot of what I’ve been listening to\/watching on my ride has been about creation of things, I guess. Works of literature. Jokes. Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can anyone really play “<\/em>Freebird” well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does anyone really need to hear it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe as evidence of your ability to do something, but I’m not seeing a lot beyond that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s videos various places around the Intertubes of Brad Paisley playing “Hot For Teacher” in concert. Shows that he is a very good guitarist. Fun little factoid, but doesn’t say much about his overall talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I suppose the question is how to you weave the various things you do have into something that’s of interest to someone, even if that’s only you, yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are some clever people out there. Sadly, I often find myself listening to things like t<\/a>his<\/a>. God I want to throttle that guy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Still no gambling. Getting here so late Thursday night, and errand on Friday morning, then accidental deep nap. Oops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe the next one. But I have a stay at a hotel intervening because of the price of the casino rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But more soon. Maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The inline spellcheck doesn’t like “Freebird.” C’mon, Tim. You’re from Alabama. That’s not misspelled.
