Excellent.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

It really was double-excllent, Sumi!
I recommend it. Particularly because flea's husband is a seriously accomplished pie-maker.

So really, there was no reason to delete.
Pie AND good record stores. (And of course, good friends.) What more could you ask for on a road trip?

Barbecue. Which we also had.
Plus: dachsund puppy, new kitten, sparklers, fireflies, old family photographs, swimming pools, baseball games and episodes of Avatar.

Sounds like a blast -tripwise. (Even though the occasion for the trip was sad.)

I am glad Wuxtry was worthwhile!

It was more wake-like than sad for the most part. It was really good to see my Aunt Edna and my cousins. They hadn't seen me since I was 4.
Also great to introduce my niece Crystal to that side of the family. Her father just died recently and she's been feeling unmoored and there's actually a whole side of the family living just half an hour from her.
I had a funny/weird bonding moment with my cousins Jeanie, Connie and Malcolm when we were sorting out all the kids and ages and I realized that all of us (my sister too) had divorced and remarried and had children from two marriages. They also had the weird spacing thing that seems to happen in my family with 8 to 10 year gaps between kids.

It totally was. Though I was far more blown away by the Wuxtry comics store than the record store. It was a fantastic rambly mess. I scored an American Maid (from The Tick) figure for $6. I kept thinking: "Scola should be here."
