1994 (Whoaa, Slim Times Indeed)

Jan 12 1994
Les has furniture and impounded stuff may be disimpounding. Gary and Dot network, gary was never sure what he was typing and never did find the backspace but it was fun. Brief runthru of Union stuff, after which I dusted my truck for prints and notes and left, well pleased with new new 3 dog night book, endorsed by Rita Coolidge, that oracle of 60s rock.

Feb 15 1994
Oh so long delays as Gare wades through ice storms, work trips, hot tub heaven, somebody got to do it. Over to 8189 F Pkway, 37214 for brief unplugged set on balcony, new Yes is thrilling. Gares callouses need work, reduced to hamburger on Butt-ar. Charlie in surgery, why doesnt he get a real job that lets off at 4? Toronto again next week, gad

Final Halloween 9 party goes down, late, small crowd, only 6 bottles of bubbly go. Cops show up, I thought they were costumes! The era appears to be over. As I write this on Dec 9. Nathan has turned 4, Im in the middle of a horrendous new job at Northern. And the barn remodeling is well underway. Finis.
