I was pretty tired after my workout. I went online to take care of some business; I bought a 125Watt solar panel on EBay. Around about 1pm I fell asleep and dozed for an hour.
I went over to Stoney’s to check on things and run his truck a bit. I ate some of that lemon cake sitting in the refrigerator over there!
I got caught up on my astronomy reading in “365 Starry Nights”, and then read a few chapters of “A game for Heroes” by Jack Higgins.
It was time for me to head down to Joshua Tree Lake for a small concert put on by my friend’s Mat Villarreal and Amanda for Mat’s daughter Lauren’s thirteenth birthday surprise. The singer was Marian Call from Alaska who is touring all fifty states. Marian and her guitarist Scott played for several hours to a small crowd of local folks. Marian has such a lovely voice; able to hit about any key that would turn my face blue. “Music like no other- Clever folk funk for hungry minds” is what she has on her website. I think she is a cross between Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell along with a little jazz and comedy thrown in. She is a real crowd pleaser! Lauren, who is a big fan of Marian, got to get up on stage and sang a song with her, and she did very well under the circumstances. I had a great time there; it was kind of magical!
I did my stretches. I practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
Goodbye to June; you’ve been a very good month!
