Not politics, for a change
Well, after class last night I had a chance to have dinner with my friend 'Kniwt' while he was passing through town. Alas, he'd made his way to the desert Southwest seeking favorable weather for his bike riding. I say alas because, in case you're not in Phoenix, we're not exactly sunny and warm right now. Since about 12:30 last night, we've had a constant, steady light rain, occasionally heavy winds and nippy temperatures (presently 54 degrees, according to Weatherbug!).
That said, he did ride across the border from Douglas to Agua Prieta, Sonora, yesterday and seems to be generally having fun on his well-earned vacation from work, news a politics. He promises a full trip report on his return to scenic Fresno.
Finally caught up with schoolwork yesterday. I'm surprised my time is so inelastic these days that it took me four days to make up for the total of six hours I spent this weekend on birthday things. Fortunately, there's only a month and a half to go in the semester! I thought the first week of school was hard, but believe me, it was nothing compared to this week. I may have to forego a really cool Halloween party to which I was invited this weekend because the homework load going forward is still quite heavy, and there's a LOT of housework I didn't get done this week.
I actually have hopes I might be able to graduate this semester, since my school has unexpectedly allowed me till tomorrow to send in my paperwork (previously, I'd seen a deadline of Sept. 1, which led me to think I had no chance to get my parchment this December. That said, it all hinges now on timely delivery of my end-of-semester transcript from ASU, which is a little more iffy.
I more or less had to abandon two assignments for one class, one of which I left at home inadvertently and one of which I just spaced on, because the prof. doesn't accept late assignments at all. Fortunately, they're such a relatively small part of the grade I'll still be able to pull out at least a B or low A if I keep my nose clean going forward. No problem!
The reviews from Saturday's Haiku Rd. show have been uniformly positive from all corners. I can't tell if it's all politeness, but I think we may actually have something here! Just think ... if you were there and enjoyed it, we have a bassist now and we'll have a drummer if Pete ever moves out here, so it only gets better from here on out! Updates will appear here when/if we get gigs booked. Don't plan on anything before December, but that could change.
