I’ve posted before rehearsals and performances. I guess tonight’s event is in the nature of a performance for me, but to be seasonal, I chose the above title for this week’s Scattered Saturday post. I must soon begin fixing my unruly hair for the Haunted Historic Four Corners Tour. I will get home late and will no doubt be tired. I will be happy I already did my blog post.
I got up just prior to six, and it was still dark out when I went for a run. I was happy to wear the reflective vest (“road guard vest” is what we army folk call it) my sister Cheryl gave me some time ago. It had been raining and was just beginning to sprinkle again as I walked my cool-down. Full disclosure: I meant to do a Saturday Running Commentary post but got distracted with, well, Saturday.
I don’t know if I mentioned that Steven is feeling poorly, but of course I won’t say much, because, you know, HIPAA. But I had to pick up a prescription for him so headed to the Medicine Shoppe in Ilion. After getting that, I stopped in to the handily located Ilion Wine and Spirits. Barefoot Pinot Noir, yes, please. I felt fortunate to be able to take a left out of that parking lot and headed a short way down the road to Moose River Coffee and Beer Belly Bob’s.
I went into the coffee shop first and got a 12 oz cup of the smoothest coffee ever and a raspberry-filled cookie. While I nibble and sipped, I worked on my latest attempt at finishing a novel. I am still at the note-writing stage. I know who’s going to die and how, but not sure who the killer is. Perhaps a character I have yet to invent. But already I’ve said too much. It is a mistake to talk to much about stories while you are writing them; you can talk yourself out of writing them.
After savoring the last drop of coffee, I went into Beer Belly Bob’s for some beer. I told them I was disappointed about yesterday’s tasting being postponed. They were sorry about it as well. I got some stuff I know I like the taste of. In fact, I am enjoying a can now (don’t judge me).
The only other thing of note I have done thus far is accompany my friend, Kim, to Ilion Little Theatre, where we borrowed accessories for our costumes tonight. We are impersonating a couple of murderesses from the 1800’s. She is a new one (to us), whose name escapes me, while I am reprising my iconic role of Roxy. I hope to talk more about the haunted tour tomorrow. As always, I hope you’ll stay tuned.
