The weekend is here again folks.  At least this weekend it appears as if I will not by laying in bed just moaning and barely moving my head.  The weather may cooperate a little bit, as well, which would be nice if a person could actually come out of their winter hidey-hole and blink at the sun like some burrowing rodent and then go see a live blues or jazz show.

Thanks, as always, must be given to radio station WDCB for the information below.
