I'll be showing around 11:00. Not sure what I'm makin' for a dish yet but, whatever it is, you can be assured it'll be a crowd pleaser. Monika has some kinda short gig to play in South Hero in the early afternoon. Also, her mom (Inge) and sister (Astrid) are visiting this weekend. I'm not sure yet what she and her family are doin'.

I gotta be there just to learn Arminianism is. I'm ready.

For those of you who couldn't make it today, we had a small but exuberant crowd show up for our little alumni gathering at Oakledge. If you count the guy named Chris who came by in a power wheelchair and bummed a cigarette, we had 35 people in all who joined our party at the pavilion. 13 of them were Essex alumni; 9 of them were children of alumni and the rest were friends or spouses of alumni. I did not count the large group of picnickers that joined us late in the afternoon to eat their dinner and who got to hear our open mic attendees. Janice wanted me to collect money from them, but I thought it helped fill up the place and so i let them in for free.

I think it was a success considering not one invitation was mailed and the weather was forecast to be partly cloudy with thundershowers. We did get some showers but nothing that lasted too long and the sky opened up and the sun shone for a good part of the day.

I'd like to thank everyone for coming and especially to all the folks who brought instruments and played. Thanks also to my friend Jim Peterson who furnished the P.A. system.
