Oh, and speaking of the cd...
Our new YV cd got reviewed again...favorably! By someone named Kiki for Rick's Cafe. She mentioned Kia, Greg and Mike by name and, shockingly, lauded our excessive deployment of dumb puns.
Meanwhile, it's a week after Labor Day and yet our friend Mister Summer continues to, let us say, OVERSTAY HIS WELCOME. It's supposed to rain soon and I really hope it does because all our plants are scorched and pathetic and the wasps are getting too big and pushy and overall our draught-baked environs are starting to take on a spooky, Soylent Green-like quality.
Also, we've been continuing work on the outside of our house, entailing patching up the network of gaping stucco cracks, trying to get someone to paint it eventually, and pulling creeping vines off our garage. THE VINES, MAN, MY GOD, THE VINES! I never realized how creepily parasitic they are, how they grow little tentacles so they can stick to their chosen surfaces, slowly strangling all who cross their path. It makes me appreciate how truly heroic winemakers (or "vintners" if it's wine that goes for more than ten bucks a bottle) are, working all day among horrible vines as they do.
I feel like shouting for all to hear: "VINTNERS YES, VINES NO!" And yet I probably won't.
COMING SOON: The Willy St Fair: the REAL end of summer, this time for sure
