Sunday's jazz artist: Bill Evans, sometimes with Tony Bennett.
1. The best way to beat the heat today? Spend time in the Vizio room, shaded by light blocking curtains, and listen to Bill Evans improvise on melodies.
2. I took a break from staying cool and made a quick trip to the transfer station to recycle cardboard and plastic bottles in my never ending mission to keep the garage uncluttered. I stopped in the liquor store on my way home and stocked up a bit -- including a bottle Creme de Cocao for future Brandy Alexanders.
3. Debbie made a very tasty sweet potato hummus and plopped a small bowl of it on a plate with some chilled fresh slices of cucumber and red pepper and stalks of fresh asparagus. It was a perfect complement to my cold dry martini, stirred, up, with three green almond olives. I daydreamed about martinis at the Sapphire Lounge, the Peacock Lounge, the Riverbank Taphouse, South Hill Grill, Luna, Tomato Street in CdA, and Rock City Grill.
A bit later, we each enjoyed a bowl of egg noodles topped with the latest of Debbie's pesto experiments. Then it was time for a Brandy Alexander on the deck. Then a nap. Refreshed, I returned and Christy came over and enjoyed a Brandy Alexander and she, Debbie, and I got in some solid yakking.
Here's a limerick by Stu:
Can be exciting or unsettling state.
The future is up for debate.
Could be life changing in scope,
Or some news which brings hope.
But, there’s time when we all have to wait!
