A wonderful night was had by me with Mr. & Mrs. Slothers this evening at the pub.
Even talked to McC on the phone although it was difficult because it was hard to hear anyone on a cell phone in there. We managed to effectively exchange only a few sentences with some effort, but it was a welcome and wonderful surprise to hear him anyway! Sloth has given me an interesting window on his political/socio-philosophical beliefs I was not privy to heretofore, and Linda had much to say on a variety of interesting topics herself. A lovely night all around was had.
I want to take this moment to wish all Paxaciders a lovely holiday season. To Mav, I am sorry to know we shall not meet until after the new year, I just have this feeling with the way things are going. But we must find a way to meet after it.
Tommy, I hear rumours you are coming here for New Year's. And Brett's cabin. And I'm just really confused about what is supposed to happen or when or if it will, but happy holiday season to both of you, even if we don't make it far enough to meet up for whatever reason.
This is for McC, and McC only: The musical choices made in that pub were dizzyingly great, let me tell you. We had classic Coldplay, classic Oasis "CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA" McC - I thought of you! They played Wonderwall, too. And some song by the Beatles I hadn't heard in 50 million years but I couldn't tell you what it was now. And then they played another favorite of mine by Curtis Mayfield - "Superfly" followed by a few from Dave Matthews that I remembered very fondly and probably would not have played on my own in another 20 years! OH also, they played this song that totally ripped off Iggy Pop's Lust For Life, what a shame. But still, it was one hell of a nice combination of music, there. Sloth said it was probably just the jukebox, but hey, a jukebox or no, it seems improbable I would have liked a set of music that much that I didn't pick.
Martino says there's something more to life than music! Can you believe that? The heathen! Something MORE to life than music? Absurd! Quite a novel concept in my book. The only thing I can think of that is more is having good friends. But other than that, no. Nothing else exists but music. Marky has proved it several times in his lab at night when thunder and lightning strike up in the sky and he's doing chemical experiments on music in his sleep and playing ping pong with Albert Einstein and losing.
Adios amigos! I play a cello just for you. Very, very badly.
