WEDNESDAY September 16, 1998 Woke up and quickly got the kids ready for school. The usual routine... get the older boy off to school and on his school bus at 8:05am. I drove my younger boy to his elementary school and walked him to the line up on the blacktop by 9:05am. After this, I went home and tried to get to sleep but I couldn't. I needed it badly, being that I got home early in the morning about 2am after last night's Hop City gig in Anaheim. Well, I checked out email. Then, I went to the post office to mail an autographed CD to Ashley in Atlanta, Georgia. She's a big fan of the band's and has promised us some down home southern-style cookin', if and when we passed through Atlanta on an east coast tour. There were two interesting magnets at the post office, an 'Uncle Sam Wants You' magnet and a 'Crayola' magnet, both based on commemorative stamps. I just had to get them to add to our refrigerator magnet collection. Checked my P.O. Box... nothing today. I dropped by Borders, which I haven't done in a long time. I spent much of the morning at Borders. There's is just too many things I want to buy from a store like Borders. Anyway, I walked away from there with three CDs: Stravinsky's Firebird and Petroushka Ballet Suites, Keith Jarrett's Luminesence, and a compilation album entitled 'Sirens of Song', which contained a song I had been looking for, for a long time, a Gershwin song entitled 'But Not For Me', this version sung by Judy Garland. I got back to the house and checked email again and had lunch. After working on one of my websites, I tried to rest a bit. I couldn't actually sleep, but I did rest for about half an hour. I then exercised for about half an hour, doing mainly calisthenics, weight training, and crunches. I was not able to get to the treadmill for some reason. After my eldest boy arrived and after picking up my youngest from his school, I dropped off my youngest son at my sister-in-law's house just up the street. That's where most of the neighborhood kids congregate, ride their bikes and just have fun. I then took my eldest son to his soccer practice at 4pm, which lasted until 5:30pm. Getting back from soccer practice, I checked email again, posted some messages, and then ate dinner and watched the news. Then I got ready for our gig at Tio Leo's tonight.
