12/14/09 Meditation Class, Con Ride, Lisa's Party

This was the last meditation class until the new year. I slipped into meditation myself and the class flew by. I was so relaxed after class. I didn't have long to talk to MKate, because Luke and I were taking our conversation ride.

We talked about his sabatical. This will be the first time in 50 years that he hasn't been sheduled to the eye teeth. I'm a little worried. He says that he's looking forward to it. I hope so.

Then we got ready for Lisa's 50th b-day party. Sometimes musicians partys are BORING. All the talk is about music. "Hey, guys what about that note I played the other day." And I'm not kidding.

We got there and had to walk a little because it was a surprise party. and we couldn't park in front of the house. I hate surprises. So I'm glad it's not me. The weather was yummy warm. I loved walking in it. It was a desert party, all chocolate, because Lisa is a big chocolate person.

Lisa was so surprised. And happy. There was chocolate everywhere. Nancy was there. Terry and Pam, David and Bud, and so on. There were only a few people that I didn't know. Best desert--Nancy Agres: a sooo amazing raspberry and chocolate tart. Sooooo yummmy. I brought a diet soda and only ate little bits of the candy and other cakes that were there.

I had a few good conversations. Nancy is a very good writer. Her last story featured a cat so we talked about the story and the cat behind the story. We left at the time we agreed on and most people left at that time also--so it worked.
