(& my brother, George)
It was a really great show. Rockabilly type music, very enjoyable. The Warsaw Tavern never had it so good! I’m not sure how Memphis Mike got his name because he’s from Steubenville. That’d be like me calling myself “Austin Bob.” He played a mean guitar and sang a good tune. He’s got a good thing going. The link to Memphis Mike’s website will be up today, in my “links” section.On my way up to Pittsburgh, I hit the A/C button in my car — nothing. Just hot air. Damn. I need that A/C for my cats and for me, ha ha. A hose ruptured and I lost all my coolant. My car is an 89, I have the old school coolant. I had to get it retro fitted for the new style coolant and had to get a new hose. It’s always something. Next up on the car is fixing the muffler. It’s loose and I’m pretty sure there’s a hole where there shouldn’t be a hole. Again, always something.

I played with my nephews and niece more this trip than I think I ever have. We had a good time. Swimming in my friend Tim and Tonya’s pool, sleep-overs, playing Frisbee, fireworks, badminton and bingo. I love those kids! And I realized something, I need my own kid. My clock is ticking, ha ha. I’m just kidding. Four nephews and a niece is enough for me. Plus, I get to go home and get some peace and quiet, ha ha.

Let’s see, what else? I went to the track a lot with my Mom. She likes to bet on the ponies and I like to play Keno. Oh the times we had. She’s good people. I had a good 4th of July. For my 32nd straight year, we set off some fireworks and watched the city’s fireworks. I bought some Jumping Jacks and I have to say, they weren’t that great. They were much better when I was a kid. Oh the 80’s. And how about that heat wave last week, whew!
