But we won't stop enjoying what we have left of the weekend and of my vacation, darn it!
Bubba and I had a great time out and about in our aunt's neighborhood. It was a food truck fest and a charity concert, headed up by my favorite police captain (and the power point/satire master) Cap'n Ned. Cap'n Ned and I worked together nearly two decades ago (kind of scary) in MegaBurg, way before any of the niceties were added all around town, such as the cool amphitheatre.
Cap'n Ned's own band headed up the concert, and they had a U2 tribute band as the headliner. It was fun watching folks from many generations up there dancing in front of us. It was also homecoming in the neighboring towns, and since the MegaBurg park is scenic, we saw dozens of kids (and parents) walking by dressed up and taking pictures. A couple of times, they timed their parades to song lyrics that talked about young'uns being places they shouldn't...which made for some hysterical video clips.
Bubba even got ME up there and dancing to the U2 tribute band, but with all the smoke from the stage, cold air, and other assorted pollutants (this was outside), I thought I would have an asthma attack and require paramedic attention (because, of course, I never figured I'd need to bring my inhaler along). I sat out. Consequently, Bubba danced his heart out and had a blast, while I watched from the second row.
We spent money, Bubba got his pic taken with some famous football cheerleaders and bought a calendar they had, since proceeds went to their charity for fallen first responders. He had a grand old time, and so did I, spending some time in my old workplace of MegaBurg, marveling at all the good that's come there, and talking to old friends I don't see nearly enough.
So, we'll be off on our day soon, to make some more memories today. Stay tuned.

One of me favorites...
Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing
Oh, the ring of the piper's tune
Oh, for one of those hours of gladness
Gone, alas, like our youth, too soon.
When the boys began to gather
In the glen of a summer's night
And the Kerry piper's tuning
Made us long with wild delight!
Oh, to think of it
Oh, to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears!

A song here
Another there. When the singing and dancing groups aren't visiting the Hotel Rehab, the cicadas are. They are all over the trees, and occasionally on a patient who decides to sit in the shade on the bench in the back.
I even had one land on me as I was coming out of the local library with Bubba. Thankfully, Dahey was with us to remove it. The cicada he said looked like an artsy pin on my lapel.
I'm just so glad it didn't fall off in the crowded library. That would have been interesting.
More later...back to reading for my grad class.
