hello, again

I just can't stay up all night like I used to. Friday night was another night at the ER. My other half, Zoe, is recovering from gall bladder surgery and had a bit of a relapse Friday night. All is well some pain meds and dietary changes later. We didn't get back from ER until 7 Saturday morning. So yesterday was spent bumping around into walls when I wasn't sleeping.

Last night was a fine evening spent with friends sharing music. It was all done thanks to Jim and Esther at Whole Wheat Radio. Chatting and requesting tunes with night owls around the world. I felt much better.

Friday was spent at the Island County Fair in Langley. I used to go with my kids. This year it was with a kid (Jenny) and a grandkid (Robyn). Checked out the bunnies, chickens, horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, vegetables, commercial exhibits, sewing, photography, dogs, and cats. And the food. Good food. Good fair food. I started at the Lions' food booth with an ear of sweet white corn. Yum! Then to the Democrat's food booth for a foot long chili dog. Yum! My favorite fair food is those vanilla ice cream bars that they stick in the hot chocolate and then roll in the nuts. Yum! This morning I read about an incident at the Island County Fair yesterday: Man killed when hair caught in fairgrounds ride.
