Boyhood Dream

Well, that came out of nowhere.

September 28 I will realize my boyhood dream of playing a rock show at Rexall Place with my childhood friend. Desousa Drive featuring Dan Brodribb on bass will be playing between periods as the Edmonton Oil Kings take on the Prince Albert Raiders.

I don't want to brag, but you have to be a pretty big star to get a hockey game as an opening act.

In other news, I am enjoying tai chi, taking steps towards buying a condo, helping get a meditation retreat together, and performing on Saturday with RCW. Hope to see you there as well.

Also, my nephew has taken to biting chunks out of the foam on my sister's bed and then spitting it on the floor. As my brother-in-law said, he looks like a very tiny, very cute George the Animal Steele. Maybe I should get him an RCW tryout.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have one week to grow my hair long, steal Tommy Lee Curtis' Marty Jannetty tights, and practice my poses.

I suppose I could also take the next seven days to learn the songs I'll be playing, but when it comes to hard rock, the music is really the last piece of the puzzle.

The Uncle Diaries (continued)

My nephew is having a bad day.

He does not want to be held. He does not want to wrestle, chase or be chased. He does not want to play with his truck or his books or his blocks.

He is sick of this bullshit.

He storms off on all fours, bear walking on his hands and feet. His hands slip; his feet keep going; he flops forward onto his face.

It's been that kind of day.

And when he starts to wail with frustration, I think: There are times I know exactly how he feels.
