What a beautiful day today!

Blogging from my DC home today [using our new cable modem] and I'm just getting over a fever that I had Friday night. I don't know what happened, it just hit me all of a sudden. You feel cold, but your hands and ears are burning hot. Your body aches and every time you take a step it feels as if your head is expanding. Yeah I had em all. But I ended up heading out to the Tonga Room at the Fairmont Hotel to see my Ninong Nito who plays there every friday and saturday night. It was his daughter [my godsister's birthday]. She's turning 16 going on 25. With all the stuff she's had to deal with it's makes me happy that she's able to go out and have a good time and smile. I remember when she was born, and now she's able to drive. But that wasn't anything compared to my telling my Ninong that I was now 27. My father calls my Ninong a musical prodigy. He studies violin at the SF Conservatory of Music at a young age then taught himself guitar. He has perfect pitch and can scat his guitar solos [ala George Benson on the songs 'This Masquerade' or 'Broadway'].

Saturday was a little gathering at Molloys on Mission Road in Colma, right across the street from the cemetary, for a friend's birthday. All my folks from Alameda were there talking about their upcoming trip to Vegas. Personally I'm not that impressed with Vegas itself, but the people who go with me are the ones that make it worthwhile and fun. To me, we're not joining the party, we're bringing the party. But my upcoming Chambers Singers trip to Oregon means I won't be available for Vegas II. But I know I'm in for sure on the next one.
