A Litte Ramblin'.....

         Got the urge to do a little rambling........ I go a month or so with nothing to do sometimes, but that hasn't been the case lately. Last weekend I went to see one of my favorite local bands, Sister Funk. They are a really good all female band. I headed out for the evening alone( I do that a lot nowadays. Getting used to it), but some of my female friends were there and I had a great time. Even though I quit drinking a couple weeks ago and sipped tonic water all night, I still had a great time. Go figure, huh?! Lol.

Kathy, the guitarist from Sister Funk, and me. One of the reasons I enjoy going to see them play out! Lol
 

I'm debating about going to see the band Spiritshaker tonight. I saw them a few weeks ago for the first time and they are really good. A couple guys from work are gonna be there. Gotta see if I have the energy to head out in a few hours. We'll see. Tomorrow, I'm heading down to my hometown to go to a benefit for a classmate. He has ALS/Lou Gherig's disease and the benefit is to try and raise enough money to get him a wheelchair van. Hopefully, it is a big success. There're will be a lot of people I know there, many of whom I haven't seen in many years. It should be a good time, just wish the get together was under better circumstances.                                                    Lot's to do next weekend also. Friday night I'm going to see a new band called Run Jenny. Run Jenny is all the members of Sister Funk, but when they play out as Run Jenny they play all original songs that they wrote. On Saturday I'm going to the Gun-Rights Rally at the state capitol. I went last year and wrote a post about it. Since last years rally some un-constitutional anti-gun laws went into effect in Connecticut. One of which is law-abiding gun owners having to register their so called "assault rifles". History proves that registration leads to confiscation. The deadline to register has passed and there're were more gun owners that didn't register than those who did. The government is calling it the biggest act of civil disobedience they have ever seen. I think people are finally get sick and tired of politicians running our lives the way they see fit. People from surrounding states are even going to the rally. Hopefully it's an even bigger turnout than last year. I will be doing a post after with pics. And speaking of the rally, the night I went to see Spiritshaker I met a gentleman named Paulie. We got to talking and he is also a law-abiding gun owner. Paulie was at the rally last year and will be attending the rally next week. He brought up a very good point, appearance. He says we should attend the rally dressed like we would for court and be well spoken. He's right. The media and politicians would love to portray us as a bunch of nutcases, which we do kinda look like if we're dressed in camo and t-shirts with all kinds of sayings. I'm guilty, I wore a Molon Labe t-shirt last year and would have this year if I hadn't talked to Paulie. Now, I'm not gonna wear a suit and tie, but I won't be wearing any camo or sayings on my shirt. And my weekend will wind down on Sunday at the cactus and succulent show. Last year was the first time I missed it in 14 years( I did a post on the show the year before last). I look forward to this event every year. Well, I hope this post sounds alright. I think it's the first one I've written without sipping on a glass of wine. Lol. And me having all this going on isn't the norm for me, so when it slows down I have my new hobby and my old hobby to entertain me. Oh well, guess that's enough rambling for now. Thanks for listening, Kevin
