TOYH and I spent the morning moving stuff out of the Massage Parlour. Some of it came home with us, and a good portion is going to stay on with Jess and her new business. For the better part of 5 years this has been TOYH's home away from home. She has met some really great people because of the business, a few I'm sure we'll maintain contact with. As good as the Massage Parlour has been for her, it was time to move on. Therapeutic massage is hard work. For a while now, TOYH's wrists and shoulders have been giving her trouble. She won't be giving up massage completely, but as of right now, she hasn't scheduled anything beyond next week. Jess is kind enough to let TOYH rent the space back on an hourly basis as needed. This may or may not happen. The only times that she will be able to pick up hours would be on Wednesday and Friday evenings. But I think she'd like to be done with evenings. Between school and massage, she's been gone a lot of evenings in the last 6 years. She's also going to be picking up more hours at her new job, so it's just impractical for her to be working that much every week.
Tonight TOYH and I are treating ourselves to a concert. Mike Doughty and his band are in town promoting his new disc at First Avenue. It's been a loooong time since I've been at a concert that hasn't involved my children, and even longer since I've been to First Avenue. I'll say hi to Prince if I see him there. First Ave calls itself, "Your downtown danceteria since 1970." That's 38 years ago. Last time I was there was probably 1985. If it had been 38 years old in 1985, that would mean it's tagline would have been, "Your downtown danceteria since 1947." That makes me feel old.
Happy Easter

Hey Scott--
Did you run into Jayne (Hayne)Mund and her sister Jill at First Ave? How was the concert?
Hayne at a rockity-roll show? Wow. Nope, didn't see 'em. The show was really good. It was no great spectacle, just 4 guys who really like playing music and do it very well.
