Persistence of Mellow

Persistence of MellowThe tone today, low key, a reflection of the mood that began last night. Slept in, and when I finally got up, went out for a bit to take care of a few errands and help the firstborn get ready to do more work on vehicles (did I mention that the oil pump on the Jeep went bad?....uh, yeah...it did...) He is outside in the fifty degree temperatures and drizzle of Ohio today, rebuilding the pump, packing it with petroleum jelly (hmmm...that is what the directions say to do, anyway) and getting the thing fixed. After that, he has sworn on a stack of bibles that he will be getting that damned econo-spare off my car. The young one had his first clinic for the UT drumline today...he and two other percussionists from NV went down to campus to spend the morning and part of the afternoon there, getting prepped for next fall and their full fledged participation in the UT Rocket Drumline. There are two more sessions on the next two Saturdays, so much more to learn yet to come.

This evening, I plan on a beer, some snacks and an evening with the Final Four on CBS...Ohio State is my great hope at this point...my brackets are pretty much moot otherwise...

Hope you are having a great weekend....much love to you....
