on my commute home, the bike that was hesitating on the ride in decided to stall out. thinking i'd do a minor spark plug replacement, i remember that i have no tools as some fucktard stole them the other week. (as i wrote this i purchased a set off ebay for $74! fuuuuuuuuck!). then i over-stressed the kick start lever and proceeded to bust that too!
god-friggin-damnit! i have this huge gash on my leg from the lever arm scoring it. how many more ways can i fuck up this leg on a bike?!?

that compromised my willingness to attend a concert, but i persevered and I saw Eric play last night. i wasn't going to, but Dave wanted to hang out and it'd been so long since we did.
he owed me money for Spamalot, and bought us dinner.
i had a Poblano Porter at a brew pub and goddamn if it didn't taste like a chile pepper! soooo yummy.
i saw eric's immediate family together for the first time in about 11 years. his sisters have grown; the youngest married with baby(!). his parents, recently divorced but together for his show. it was quite nice if only superficial to see them all together again. his mother said it was the first time in 4 years since even his sisters and he were together for her.
eric played Home and i found out that another member wrote it. but he sings it so well.

as suspected, despite out iPhone love and Squee situation, he has neglected to tell us he broke up with his girlfriend. so frustrating he is! i had a feeling as it's not the first time, but their schedules were so incompatible from his touring and her limited mobility.
rule #12 for friends (especially since we're going on 27 years together) is tell your friends when you goddamn break-up so as to be considerate of the
"soooo! it's great to see you! i'm glad you came to the show. we haven't see you recently. eric didn't tell us you're coming to the show…
…
oh
…
oh
…
sorry. i didn't know. "
