First of seven

A project. I came across this semi-deposition thing some months ago. I'm guessing it's part of a divorce case and the wife is trying to get some confirmation on some bad conduct by her husband via a third party. I think the third party is a daughter-in-law who moved in with her infant son. It's not clear where her husband was other than he vamoosed. Interesting that she went for help to his parents and not her family. I'm partly sorry we don't have the answers but it is fun to imagine just what the answers were ...

This is the first of seven scans-it was on legal paper, so I had to scan in just part of each page. Read and enjoy.

Now I remember ...

I was going to post this series of scans in this document I found except that I got sidetracked and didn't actually do the scans. That's corrected. Because the way most people will read this will be most recent to oldest, it makes sense for me to put the last part up first, so you can read it in order. This'll be #7 and last.

Trip #2

to my brother's in D.C. for our annual visit to Baltimore to see the Royals. When going to Camden Yards, it's best to eat outside-there's a stand across the street that serves a decent and decently priced crabcake. The BBQ out near the warehouse is adequate but not as good as what I'd get in KC. All credit to whoever picks the music in Baltimore-this year, I heard The Replacements and Siouxisie and the Banshees. And credit to the concession staff, who offered me a free funnel cake that was left over after the game. I said no-didn't think I could survive the trip back if I did.

Next year, the Royals play in Washington vs. the Nats, so we'll do that instead.

The pic's from Petra, not Baltimore or Washington. Shame, because it'd be cool.

So ...

what was I doing when not updating? Working on making the music business safe for musicians, taking a couple of short vacations. To where?

The first was a one-way flight to St. Petersburg, where I used to live and own part of a record store. Went to the old neighborhood, visited the block where the store was located. For all the money St. Pete's spent on the waterfront, you go five blocks inland from there and it's desolate. The 600 block of Central is just brutal. The block where the store was looks pretty much the same other than the empty storefronts. The geriatric drugstore's closed, the old man's clothing store is closed. Drove back via Atlanta (stopping to visit friends) and visited Unclaimed Baggage, which I endorse. Then did Atlanta/KC in one really long day (made longer by me deciding to drive the southern route). The pic is just a very old one of me.

Finally

No excuse at all, but back we are, updating. Here's a pic of an old can that sure makes me hungry.
