It was the first time I actually got to talk with Shawn Ster after so many years.  He mentioned that he was thinking of showing up more in future jams.

I've been battling tooth pain, and looks like the one that I had a cavity is beginning to annoy me. May have to get that looked at although my dentist mentioned since it's the far tooth in the back he may have to yank it out.  Not exactly news to these ears.

Still, tonight's performance went pretty well, and I decided to segment the ending of No Expectations right into For What Its Worth, something out of the ordinary.  The jam started out slow but as the night wore on a few more folks showed up, Jay has a new job so his jam appearances have been few and far between.  Get It Over With managed to sound pretty good since I played the right chords and not mess that up. Afterwards I did chat with Cathy for a spell and she did said that she still loves Julie and hope things are fine with her.  There might be hope that they can share the stage together but for now Barb Myers has settled in with Cathy and Lorie and the name is called Sirenz.

Despite it all, we were missing a few folks, namely Belinda and Mark and Steve Black Wolf.  And Skip Richards as well.   Of course it had to rain at the end of the jam.  The third straight time it has rained.   So it goes.

But on a good subject it looks like Penny and Karl have kissed and made up. He took her to Texas this week to meet the relatives.  The Townedgers wish them all the best and make it their love last.
