I might have mentioned - I did mention - that I was going to visit my mother this weekend in Dallas, so I handed the show off to my pal Daryl who was going to show everyone how terrible I do my own radio show. In fact, as I write this, I was supposed to be on the road, perhaps even arriving in Memphis, where we were going to have yummy Ethiopian food. Instead, I am making dinner for the wife & trying to catch up on songs I usually would've spent the weekend listening to.
What happened is our little pooch, Winston, got ill. We've been watching him very closely & will be taking him tomorrow to a specialist in Louisville. I think he'll be fine - he's been getting progressively better - but there's a better-safe-that-sorry attitude that one should have with beings that can't ever tell you exactly what's ailing them, that encourages me to visit a vet who'll understand his signs much better than I ever will.
It has meant, however, that I haven't really had the proper mindset for working on a radio show. Which can be puzzling - I knew we weren't leaving on Sunday. & yet - I've been working on the show off & on since then & I still haven't gotten much done. I'll probably be working on it into the evening on Thursday.
Which reminds me - how long have I been doing this? It's twelve years this August! It's the closest thing to a regular job I have - & I still don't have much of a process for it? What the hell?
There are a lot of good "afternoon" songs, though. I will have a tough time picking which ones to play.
