Sweater than Wine

Happy Saturday, Bloggee. As you can see by the post date below, I'm 'up and at it' dark and early once again this morning. The sun won't horizon for another hour, according to the local almanac.

Last night's First Friday party at Art Lovers Trading Company was fun and artsy-fartsy. (especially, fartsy, but I'll couch my words). The artsy part was a New Year's kiss from an artist whose lips felt like cushions! No, it wasn't featured artisan Rory Jaros who laid one on me, he makes chairs, not couches, and I ain't tellin' who it was, but it was sweet as an edible gourd.

Now I've done it. My significant other will want to know who it was, and so will the insignificant other who told me to lay down on the couch so people could play checkers on my sweater. I was mortified, Bloggee. Checkers of all games! Why not chess? Is it because of my checkered past? Because I jump from one thing to another? Because I go around saying "king me" all the time? I wish I had worn a sweater woven by Richard Cox, who scarfed down a sandwich and a glass of wine as we sat and chatted on that very same couch.

Harrisburg bound

Today, I plan to distribute more Between the Rivers music CDs to stores in the aread, including Harrisburg, where the Hurd brothers lived and died; and where the scholarship fund is administered.

New neighborhood name

Did you know there was an "Arbor District" in Carbondale? It's the new name for the West Central Carbondale Neighborhood Association, a new domain and a newsletter. Thanks to Study Circles' Sarah Heyer for the forward, and her advice to read and 'feel good about Carbondale'. I'll try. Nice looking newsletter. Good job by the editor; bad job by the organization president, who failed to mention the name change -- or the new newsletter format -- during our long chat at last night's arty party. Too much wine and sand, maybe. By sand, I mean Vic Degraff's sand paintings, made from 100% natural sand; and by wine, I mean Blue Sky.

Limo Combo

Speaking of wine and art, would you like to consume more of both in style this Spring? If things work out between a local limousine service, a local art gallery, and the local wineries, you will be able to do just that, so keep your glass and glasses handy, Bloggy.
