Good Sunday.

I have always been fascinated by the drums. Over the years, I have sat at some drum sets and manage to keep a simple beat. A few weeks ago I was farting around on the drumset at church and the pastor recommended that I come to rehearsal. If I was no good, the music guy would tell me to sit out. No problem for me. So, I went to rehearsal this week and the drummer, who is often out of town, was in town. So, I didn't play the drums this week. Maybe next time. But, he asked if I played bass and I said I could try it. I have owned a bass for more than 15 years and never pursued it seriously. But it is fun to play around with and get out my frustrations on. I gave it a shot. I wasn't perfect, but I got to play during the service and it was great. It was my first time to play this instrument in front of a crowd. I'll just go to rehearsal next week and say, "Whatcha need?" and I will do it. Hopefully, he won't need a singer. I am out of commission for that for at least a year.

I remember when i was younger, I was going to be the next great bass player in America. But, like many things I have a problem sticking with them. I must have ADHD.

After church, we had some friends over and I discovered the value of the food processor. For a good combination of foods, I recommend beer butt chicken (with my own blend of store bought seasoning), garlic mashed potatoes, and carrots with a little Tony Chachere's and some chicken broth. After a few minutes in the processor, it turned into a quite delicious and nutricious mush. Mmm.

Finally, you can see what a good day me an Kitty had. Since church is at night now, the cat and I had some opportunity to bond.
