Tuesdays With Ringo

August 3, 2010

I struggled through today.  When you roll over in the middle of the night and your sore butt muscles wake you up, you know it’s going to be a rough day.  Yesterday, I resumed my class at the gym which I’ve been away from for about a month due to travel and a cold.  I was surprised it had been that long, but the calendar doesn’t lie.  I took it easy, cut the weight on my barbell, but I am moving like a 90 year old woman.  Actually, that is probably an insult to 90 year olds.  My legs are not my friends.  As painful as it is to move my bottom half, in a weird way it feels kinda good to get those muscles working again.

Despite my soreness, I spent the afternoon laying out a quilt.  It wasn’t easy scooting around on the floor, but I’m pretty happy with how the quilt looks so far.  When dealing with so many different fabrics, I couldn’t think of any other way to make sure that the fabrics got “evenly” distributed.

The supervisor approves.

Then she had to mug it up for the camera.

As if that wasn’t enough excitement for the day, Bill and I went to see Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band at the Mountain Winery. It’s a nice intimate venue not far from our house.  I have to admit, I wasn’t super excited for the concert.  I knew it would be a nice evening, but that was the extent of my excitement.  Well, his All-Starr Band was really an All-Star Band.  Edgar Winter sang Free Ride which was my favorite song to play when I was in the Penn Band.  And then, Richard Page sang Kyrie which is my favorite 80s song.  Favorite.

Rick Derringer sang Hang on Sloopy, Gary Wright sang Dream Weaver, Wally Palmar sang What I Like About You…  Ringo sang, played drums.  It was pretty cool.  And can I say that Ringo looks great at 70.  (He was moving way better than I was.)

Now that really was enough excitement for one day.

About Me

Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.

A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.
