Knight’s tonight with the GB Fins, Dogmomster and Valdemort. The wait was an hour and a half [because we didn’t bother to make reservations] but we hung out around the bar, doing our best to keep out of the way of the beleaguered wait-staff threading their way through the crowd. It was typical Knight’s, beloved despite the wait. Reminded me of the old Forsythe Science Fair days.

I was able to palm off a few little treasures and other items upon various people today and now, Lizard Breath (who is spending the night) is going through all of my old record albums — the ones I was gonna give away — and we are playing some of them and I am becoming convinced that I cannot dump them all off at the re-use center after all. Sigh. I am currently listening to the Supremes cover all kinds of other bands in one of their first albums. The strange thing about this is that I own this album because my rather conservative (at the time) parents bought it for me on a trip to Dee-troit that I didn’t go on. What possessed them and how did they decide what to buy? I liked the album but I probably would’ve chosen something different. Still, they tried, and I did like the album.

Knight’s claim to fame is as a steakhouse that serves ginormous drinks. I am glad that we can walk there… And I was glad to make way for several people throughout the night who were struggling to navigate the place with walkers. I remember when The Comm was using one and hating that she needed one with all the vitriol she could muster. As for Knight’s, one of my fave memories is when I was having breakfast with a bunch of middle school mom friends somewhere and my friend V and I were blathering about Knight’s. Another woman finally said, “Well… don’t a lot of Republicans go there?” V and I stopped dead for a minute and said, in unison, “Well, yes!” That was a long time ago when the Republican party was not quite so filled with loonies but still.

Done. Good night.

    Would you fling the albums, if you could copy the music to digital form?

    That was the general idea but some of the more “hipster-ish” folk are interested in old formats like vinyl and cassette tape, etc. I protested that a lot of my old albums are wrecked from playing the same song(s) over and over and over again and the “kid” said, “Moom, those are the best ones!” [wink] [grin]

    So, I caved. For now…

    Hey, if they want the records, then you don’t have to worry about them “having to deal with them later”.
