Sonic Wood

The band had a show last night at CocoBolos, a groovy little place in Manhattan. We played there last summer on the patio, and now they've enclosed that patio and added heaters, so it was very comfy. The weather forecast was for 1-3" of snow, so we were a little worried about the crowd, or lack of one, but the storm didn't arrive until much later and a good crowd did materialize. Some new material was unveiled and we put on a pretty darn good show, even got our first encore! This is really, too much fun.

As I said, the snow did eventually arrive and it's beautiful. Wet snow, so it's really slick.

Hope everyone is well, I know the weather is goofy all over the country. Take care and have a good weekend.

Love, Joan

Just Stuff...

Thanks everyone for your emails, phone calls and prayers following the passing of Gene's sister, Lucia. We are all, still in shock.

Since I'm tired of crying, I thought I'd post some pictures that make me smile. These were taken at Andy's house, right after Christmas and at Carole's this past Sunday. The rocking horse was our gift to Brody and Hadley. The headdress that Hadley is wearing, was fashioned by "Pop Gene" from pheasant feathers. The fact that the hairband is pink, makes it perfect for Hadley.

Then the 2 big girls are Maddy and Kate, Carole's girls. And then there's Pop Gene wrestling with Sofe on the floor and Brody apparently performing some form of Asian back massage.

More snow forecast for tonight and tomorrow. I still don't know when I'm headed to Independence, or what I'm going to do with the dogs. Critters are wonderful, but they certainly require more planning.

Thanks again, I love you all.

Life in the rehab-by Dad

All of us old folks enjoying our beautiful view from the dining room.

Our Christmas tree made it feel a little bit more like home.

Waking up or going to bed with this beautiful sunrise/sunset view is not a bad way to live.

This may be what I look like when I get out of here.

We love the South!
