Good weekend, even though I've been too busy lazy to post about it....

Saturday afternoon, Amy and I went to the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival, mostly to see Annette Lowman, a jazz singer I became acquainted with. Amy and Ms. Lowman have a sort of "Gift of the Magi" relationship - Amy envies Annette's voice, while Annette wishes she had Amy's hair. :) We chatted with her for a while and listened to the next band, then headed out.

Sunday was a day at the pool - Portland has a good public pool system, with clean (but not over-chlorinated) pools and lots of tubes and other water toys for kids and overgrown kids like us to use. However, I really need to work on my swimming - I won't drown, but I'm slow as hell. (And I always seem to swim breaststroke now FSR.)

Tonight is Fastball and Pinehurst Kids at Doug Fir....should be pretty good.

They have a new one out - didn't get it, but ended up standing 10 feet from the stage for the whole concert - among the songs they played was a cover of Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town" and a Beatles medley in the encore.

They still put on a really good show, even though they played to 100 people instead of several thousand...
