“Always in a hurry for a duck.”
That’s
what Mrs. [Elizabeth] Terwilliger taught us all those years ago. I was a Terwilliger Nature Guide when Laura
was a youngster. “Never in a hurry for a
seagull, always in a hurry for a duck” has to do with how much they have to
flap their wings to keep aloft.
Well, I’m
feeling like a duck, always in a hurry to do this, finish that, get on to the
next thing. Mind-boggling how much there
is to accomplish (or not) in one day.
Must … slow … down … Keep breathing. Aaahh …
So what
keeps me going? Of course! that’d be the FUN
in the Music, Dancing, and Friendships! Just like for you, no doubt.
This past
week we enjoyed the overwhelmingly FUN music of the James Moseley Band at the Presidio
Yacht Club on Friday night. James,
Jack, Carrie, Haley, Jean, Marina, John, Doug, and Marlon – you sure know how
to rock my world! Get down on it, and
boogie oogie oogie!
Carlos
& I took ourselves to Hopmonk on
Saturday night for a first-time with Bayonics—a
10-piece “Latin funk reggae hip hop” Bay Area Band – and I can recommend them
highly. Not enough of a crowd, though …
where were you on Saturday night?
Sunday—didn’t
get out to party, but had a great walk in the neighborhood.
Last night
caught the action with friends: GO GIANTS!
To
come? More GIANTS!
Friday night more Presidio Yacht Club for Doc Kraft Dance Band—sure to be some
merrymaking. One of these days I'll catch Gary Vogensen's Ramble (this Friday at Rancho). Saturday there’s a Halloween party to attend, so not likely
to get over to Trek for Chime Travelers; and there’s a Danny Click Special at 142 Throckmorton; and Cathey Cotton & Company at 19 Broadway; and much more.
Sunday
more GIANTS! if there’s not a shut-out.
The Marin Symphony Beethoven concert is Sunday
before the possible game, but more likely will go to the Tuesday evening
performance.
Check it all out below.
‘Til we meet again, take care
of yourselves and each other, and get out and move it – and if you can’t, have
fun inside your head! ♫♪♪
