Ms. McK is on her way to Africa, the Boss is on the way home and I am not sure about the picnic yet.

I got a call from my 21 year old pal as she sped out of Austin. She was on the way to meet up with her traveling companion down in south TX, they are flying out of Houston-Hobby. I think she was a little nervous, a little excited and a little scared. This is a big trip for her, doing research off the cost of South Africa. The girl is going to study Sharks! Gak! She is a Marine Biology major, this should be a good stepping stone in her career, being credited in a research paper, something to put on her resume. I am sure she will do just fine. I thought her flight was this morning but it is Friday middle of the nigh/early morning.
The boss is headed home this afternoon after a much needed break. I am not sure if I need to grab him at the airport or if his family will do it. I cleaned out the back seat of the car last night just in case.
The planning is in high gear for the Willie Nelson 4th of July picnic. I jetted off an email to see if they needed me to work it. They are searching for volunteers one week out but I don’t volunteer anymore. If I do a show I expect payment. The work is complicated, takes a lot of time and energy and I have a hell of a lot of experience. I have worked with a lot of the performers in past events so I do know what I am up against. We will see if they respond.
I could use some extra money to get working on the barn again. Lets see, I have Bob Marley windows and doors done. SXSW framing done. I could use Willie Nelson electric right now. Some other artists sheet rock and paint. I don’t think I will name the plumbing after someone unless it is a really bad show. Sounds like a theme here.
I met up with Kramer yesterday for a little dinner, a little shopping and yes, 31 flavors of ice-cream. I only got one of the flavors but there were 31 to choose from.
