Looking forward to attending the classical piano competition at First Baptist Church of Shreveport on Saturday. I am a classical music junkie even though I can't play a note of music myself. Public Radio is the purveyor of such fare here in my hometown. I love to listen to Performance Today while driving the company van in the mornings. My partner James who is 70ish now and had a mild stroke last year, he loves to listen to music as much as I do. Between country and classical, we pass the morning driving around town and collecting donations of clothing and food which are prepared by volunteers and paid staffers alike, then given away to the needy free of charge. Everyday except Christmas. James has been doing this sort of thing for 20 years now. I'm on my second year now. Things are getting tense with all the paperwork I have to collect and process and file, but with a little help from musical offering and my friends in the local symphony I think I will make this do for now.
Christmas is the busy season. Now that it is over things are a little less hectic. Hey I noticed that now this blog has three followers, right on! If I can keep writing I hope my audience continues to grow. Thanks for the comments. I will continue to post in my creative voice as much as possible in the evenings or weekends or both. Just thought I'd share the news that I got one ticket to the show thanks to Henry, the violinist who as of yet does not follow this blog, but maybe that will change soon.
For lunch I had a MRE today. Not even the hungry people in America will eat those things if there is anything else to choose from. I thought it was pretty good though. These days they have a heating element that gets really warm when you add -- salt WATER to it! I couldn't believe it and that's really why I was eating it: so I could play with the salt water driven heater element. It gets really hot. The pasta in tomato sauce that it heated turned out to be very edible if high in calories and sugar. I mean nutrition-wise I shot my whole days diet or at least two meals with that one MRE. Alas, I was not in the military and if I had been I don't think they would have had the cool water heater process back when I would have been serving. There are other things in life than adventure. Like my couch and my paperback novels and the internet where you don't have to move a muscle or risk your neck to have a good time.
