it's mean, and I'm sorry, but not too sorry

        TUESDAY 8/3/21 11:40AM--SueEl has decided to stay home tonight...I know I shouldn't be, but I'm kinda relieved...I'd better tell Lou...
3:52PM--getting ready to go to Lou's...I'm gonna stop at McD's for dinner I think so I can eat on the way to Damascus...planning on going the "back way"...he knows about SueEl not going...I dunno for sure if he cares either way, but I suspect he's breathing a sigh of relief...He has three songs on the setlist, none of which are NY Mining Disaster...
11:00PM--just got back from Damascus...Lou and Scott did pretty good (not great)  at the open mic...*I* did better as a member of the back-up band...and that was just as much fun...Max seems to sing my praises more than a little...it feels good, but is also a bit embarrassing...I finally got to jam with a certain guitar player...He said he enjoyed it...I hope he wasn't jivin' me...considering how different we look, we seemed to jell really well musically...*I* think we did anyway...
                 Lou says he wouldn't be surprised if there WASN'T an open mic at the Grille next week, because of the return of Covid...I agree with him...
