Monday and a new week begins...

CRASH - the sound of my last Survivor Pool pick - Thanks a whole bunch New Orleans, looking like you never played a football game together before...

I had a procedure on Friday. Been having them since I was 40 years old. The procedure today is nothing. Anesthesiologist inserts the meds, she says take a deep breath and the next thing I hear is "He looks rested"...I am about to say, "Um no, please do not start, I am awake", when I realize I am back in the recovery area.

For my first one ever, the doctor told me I could watch the TV above my head if I wanted to see what he was doing. Needless to say, I explained to him in just a few words that I was not interested.

The prep is the b**ch...the no eating the day before...the drinking the solution...nope....that is the PITA

Anyway it seems everything is fine with that.

But I also strained my left bicep and pretty much lost the full use of my left arm over the weekend. I am doing some exercises and combining heat and cold and salve.

So, overall a real uneventful weekend.

FRIDAY is BLOGBLAST FOR PEACE - plan your globe, fly your globe...help spread the word

Today is Halloween! Unfortunately, it is not going to be as big a day as normal with the occurrences of the weekend and the fact that I am psyched for Music On The Couch this evening.

Two spectacular female voices join me tonight. Sunday wilde is from Northern Ontario Canada and is a barrel-house, blues steaming piano playing singer who can rip it up with the best of them.

Kelly Carvin is a young woman who my son Matt mentioned to me and then, before I could reach out, I heard from her manager asking if I wanted to book her.

Kismet

Kelly is from New Jersey ad has the soul of someone brought up with 60's rock, soul and blues - yet she is only in her twenties!

Halloween treats for my guests who come sit on The Couch...and maybe a trick or two!

Just a Monday....

The weekend kind of got away from us...

First off, for those of you who wrote and asked how things went on Friday, THANK YOU...it is nice to know that you have friends - and especially those of you who are friends we have never met...

We will tell you that everything went great...my Darlin' Nancy picked us up and took us to the doctor's office Friday morning...

After a short wait, we were called into the back and got ready...the nurse was real sweet and informative and mixed a nice Valium/Demerol cocktail...and we slid into a wonderful fuzz...

Unfortunately, she did not use all of it (we found out afterward), so we could hear what was going on as our doctor instructed the intern in the procedure...

Bottom line...NO polyps found what-so-ever..and we have had them in the past...So, as a good friend said to us...we continue to have (or did he say be???) the perfect a-hole!

Darlin' Nancy drove us home and made sure we got into bed and then sat watch over us for the rest of the day. When we finally did wake, we had some food - though we really were not that hungry...

Saturday, I decided to whip up a great meal for her, and came to a total realization...one thing that sucks about Memphis is that Veal is virtually impossible to find in the stores...

Thus, we whipped up some Chicken Picata and Linguine alla olio (made with a sauce of oil and garlic and anchovies)...

Sunday flew by as our week finally took it's toll and we actually crashed on the couch for a few hours and then went over and had a London Broil with a Sweet Onion loaf with Nancy and the boys and then watched "The Kingdom"

GREAT MOVIE...if you have not seen it, rent it...with Jamie Fox and Jennifer Garner - it truly shows the horrible results of terrorism, but is extremely well done. It is directed by Peter Berg, who you might remember as Dr. Billy Kronk on "Chicago Hope" from 1995-1999...

If you do rent it, spend some time with the extra features and check out the entire set-up for the highway scene...stunt-men are pretty damn incredible and the men who choreograph crash scenes are no less than geniuses...

OK, it is way way too late...so we are going to leave you with a song by an artist we were lucky enough to get to see live last year at The Beale Street Music Festival...

They have announced the line-up for this year's festival will be announced on March 6th...can not wait to see who they have lined up...

Mr. David 'Honeyboy" Edwards...This is "Drop Down Mama"



Fingers crossed, we will have the new MAC within the next two weeks...and we can get back to our DELTA BLUES TUNEAGE TUTELAGE....

OH and
PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORT THIS WEEK

TIME FOR SOME BASEBALL!


Have a great Monday all
