August 2026

 This month. August of 2026.

This whole summer, actually.

A lot of slipping though the fingers, this summer. Working hard. Work, gigs.

Ann Brownell died on August 9. 

Learned that Kem Stralka died last year.

Chris Herreid died on August 16.

Brad, bass player and best friend of Steve, died on August 17.

Izzy Wiggins, bestest doggie of Jess & Steve, died August 24.

Dolly Parton died on August 25.

I mean. Really? 

Not really sure what to make of all of this.

I need to make an appointment with a lawyer. Oy. Get that will done up. Shit. 

This weekend, no gigs, but instead, a Saturday to celebrate the union of Don's nephew with his beloved, in Maine, no less. That will be nice to reconnect with his side of the family.

Three gigs left with the band, on the books.

Booked an appointment with the chimney guy tonight for Sept. 11. ha. Which is also Don's niece's birthday, who we will see this weekend. She's awesome. 

Then, it'll pretty much be winter. I will get a little paid vacay in September. 

Peace and love to my friends who have passed away. Will always remember our friendships.
