Saturday evening Travalon and I went to a wine-tasting party
that Catzooks was hosting. We sampled five wines which were, as Travalon noted,
not nearly as good as Wollersheim’s. Also, did you know there are wine
accessories? Maybe you thought, like I did, that all you need to enjoy wine is
a corkscrew and a glass. Were we ever wrong! Apparently for red wine you need
an aerator, for white wine you need a chiller, and for all wine you need a
gizmo to remove the foil from around the cork. Travalon and I did not rush to
buy any of these accessories, but maybe you could interest us in beer
accessories. Or not.
After the party Travalon and I went to the Nutty Bar at
Bandung Restaurant to see if a band was playing, and wouldn’t you know, a band
I used to play in was there. Not the one we saw before, which used to be Al
Khemia but is now Oudist Colony; this one used to be Salaam/Shalom and is now
called Mideast Meets Midwest. They were playing salsa and Hebrew music fusion,
and Travalon and I happily danced along to it. As my readers may already know,
playing in a salsa band has always been my dream, so I was bemoaning not
belonging to this band anymore… and then one of the drummers came over and
asked me if I wanted to play with them again! I’m not sure anything will come
of it, or if I even have time, but this is the closest I’ve ever been to my
dream. Of course, my dream the other night was that I was a llama working for a
family that included Robert III and his children Robert 4.1 and Robert 4.2.
That dream will probably never come true.

Hey you can ditch us and do something more fun, go for it!
I haven't heard anything from the drummer yet, so I'm guessing you know who is not eager to take me back.
