oh boogers!

Was feeling the 2008 blues last night upon our return from a [famous jazz musician]'s new year's day party.

Who is [the famous jazz musician]?

yummicoco to sax at home: what's so famous about [the famous jazz musician]?

Sax: He's like along the lines of Medeski, Martin and Wood.

yummicoco to [famous jazz musician] at his party: do you like travel around the world or something?

I ask stupid questions while Sax tells stupid stories. He told [famous jazz musician] about how he drove his nursery school teacher crazy (she would not be the last) by insisting that she call him Kurt Rambis--the former LA Laker player I had never heard of until Sax told me that story.



The most interesting thing about yesterday afternoon was [famous jazz musician]'s long suffering wife-a woman he fell in love with in their hometown of San Francisco before he made it made it big, bought her a house in the suburbs and left to go on tour.

Wife: You know I gave birth to [our second child] alone cuz [famous jazz musician]'s usually gone for seven months out of the year. If he does that again, I'm divorcing him.

Reminds me of when I was a tween and my neighbor, who was married to a musician that toured with jazz bore Pat Metheny for years at a time, advised me to steer clear of the following types of men just before she was uprooted to Minnesota by her touring husband.

Business majors and musicians.

The second most interesting thing (well not really) was that they had a pellet fireplace in their living room. Looked like feline pine to me.




maybe it's worth it.
