busy day… got Mira over to gymnastics, brought the girls home after all of their classes, and arrived here just before the babysitter. off to the Chicago Theatre for a much anticipated show – sat down a couple of minutes before the music started – great setlist, and an awesome show!

had the new rig dropped off, and am feeling good with the decision. now it just needs a lift, tires, and sliders, and it will start feeling more like what i’m used to.
