I hope my readers had a good weekend. Mine was excellent,
starting with Friday night, when the Rosary Ladies all met for dinner at Himal
Chuli, then we went to Luxuli’s place and prayed a rosary, and then we went to
the rooftop of the Monona Terrace and danced to a salsa band called Grupo
Candela. I made a very brief video which I will try to post at some point. It
was a beautiful night, and everyone was so happy. I love Dane Dances! They are
every Friday in August, but I missed a couple because of Alaska, and last week’s
was inside due to inclement weather. They are still fun inside, but they are
way better out on the roof, so I skipped it.
Saturday Travalon had to work, so I met Rich, OK Cap, and a
couple of other people for coffee. Afterwards OK Cap, another lady, and I
prayed the rosary and then talked for so long that by the time I got home, it
was almost time for Travalon to get home. Once he did, we went to Mr. Brews for
burgers (I got a black bean one with guacamole that was sooo good), then we
took Rodney and went for a walk at Tenney Park. Some tiny fish were jumping out
of the water, so I made a video of that. I also made a brief video of a light
show. Then the three of us went to Orton Park Festival and tried some African
peanut stew, which we liked. I made a short video there too, of someone with a
light-up hula hoop. At some point I will post all these videos for you to
enjoy.
Yesterday after Mass and brunch, Travalon and I drove down
to the Hop Garden in Paoli so he could replace his “Warning: High Hoppage” hat
because he wears it every day and it is getting ragged. Now he has a shiny
new one. We also had some of their shandy, made with kombucha, and sat in the
shade, enjoying it. I had a gig at the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival, and
Travalon the dutiful husband came along. Jilly Moose, OK Cap, Rich, and
Catzookz also came to hear me, although I don’t know how well you could hear
our band because we were in a tent that was between two other tents with very
loud electric bands, and as my regular readers no doubt know, my band is an
acoustic one. We were miked, but who knows how much help that was? Lots of
healthy food at the festival; I had a steak sandwich, a cream puff, and some of
OK Cap’s kettle corn. Afterwards I had a salad at Culvers just to have a little vegetal matter. Then Travalon and I went home and watched War Horse, a movie about a beautiful bay stallion who is a war
horse during World War I, and the boy who trains him. It was really good, but
the DVD is a used one, and it seems to have skipped a couple of scenes.
Hopefully we didn’t miss too much!
