A musical weekend awaits me. Tomorrow, Steven and I will drive into Utica, NY (not a far drive) to the Stanley Theatre to see the band America (you don’t have to italicize band names, do you? I should know these things). I have not been to the Stanley in over 20 years (yikes! I just now figured that out). It was beautiful then, and I believe they have made improvements since.
Just to give you an idea.
The event is a fundraiser for the Herkimer County Historical Society, one of my favorite organizations.
Saturday our friend Tracy is coming to visit, and we are going to see a folk group, Jam Crackers in Holland Patent. We have seen them before; they are wonderful. Tracy may get here earlier in the day, so we can get in a Mohawk Valley adventure or two as well.
Tracy’s visit is one reason I have been so distracted from my blogging duties this week: we have been frantically cleaning the house. Tracy nicely said that as long as she had a path to get through she was fine, but, well, we had to excavate the path anyways. I utilized my old favorite cleaning protocol: the stuff-and-cram method. We’ll worry about organization at a later date.
So this is my Non-Sequitur Thursday post for the week. Or I guess we could call it a Preview of Coming Attractions. Discuss among yourselves.
Mohawk Valley Girl 
It sounds exciting!
We’re pretty pumped!
