Leslie worked again and I went and walked the dogs with my mom, and it was really foggy. We walked the opposite way because we looked down the street and Tommy’s dog Wink was down there, and he’s senile and he might charge us, you never know. So we walked the opposite way. Came home and fell back to sleep for a while and when I got up and I went to the store for some Snapple and some paper towels. Cleaned the kitchen and made tomato sauce and bean salad. Also made some new salad dressing and ate some “Smart Food”. Although, I looked on the side, and one bag of Smartfood had 33 percent of a day’s worth of fat, so I don’t know how smart it really is. Grimey called and he said he and Pat and John from Wilco were going to El Mariachi and so I went over there and met them, and Kat was there, and “Unpaid” Bill. I have to stop calling him that, but I love it! Brad Jones was there, and he was doing strings with Chris Carmicheal for the new “Autumn Defense” record. I talked to Pat Sansone and he said he made up all the string arrangements. There was a nice young band there that were friends of Ashley’s and one of them told me he was freaking out because Wilco was his favorite band ever. Hung out for a while, then Brad and John and Pat and Chris left and the party pretty much disintegrated after that. Oh, and I almost forgot, my DJ moniker: “DJ SNAFU!” (Laughs)
Also, my interview/journalist psuedonym: “Clifford Schnell” Went home and did some internet and Leslie came home and I made pasta to go with the pasta sauce and we had dinner together and it was nice, then I got in bed and “Grumpy Old Men” came on and I love that stupid movie! Like when pop says: “Looks like he’s takin’ old one-eye to the Optometrist!” (Laughs) or, even just to hear Walter Matthau sing! “We’re havin a heat wave, a tropical heat-wave!” Went to bed pretty early because tomorrow I take Bob to Memphis and I have to get up at 4:30. I think I get up earlier than anyone I know besides Leslie.
