I spent a wonderful day at home.. just working around the house with Diane. We put up the upstairs windows on.. I now figure that we spend at least 2 full days of window work every change of season. That would make it 4 days per year.. and 25 years we’ve been here.. that’s 100 days of putting windows up or down.. now that’s a thought..

Like everything else we handle.. these windows come with memories.. Here’s the window to Sam’s old room.. now Gabe’s room.

Kevin came by and helped us do some house work which I really appreciated. 

Around 6 we had a bunch of friends over who were going with us to the State Radion show tonight at Higher Ground. .. State Radio has becime afavorite band for our family. Sam dug them.. and so does Max and many of our friends.. We all had Sam shirts and Sam pins on when we heded out to the show. The parking lot had soem good political energy in it. State Radio    and their fans  is a very socially conscious   And their bumper stickers and shirts showed it !

The backup band wsa called Bongo Love.. 3 guys from zimbawe played cool percussion> They were very good. State Radio took the stage around 9:30ish.   They were so awesome. They put out so much music for only three guys. It was a great mix of new stuff and old standards. It’s irresistable stuff.. and it all has either a political.. or a flat out fun therme.

Thhis was their sencond show.. both last night and tonights shows were completly sold out.. Last night , Chad deadicated the last song, Keepsake to Sam. Mason was in the corwnd and called us so we could listen to it.. (Thansk Mason).. Tonight.. .  I’d run into Chad’s sister Farly and she must have let them know we were there so they sang it again and dedicated it Sam. It was wonderful. Her’s a shaky recording.. I was getting pretty emotional so i wasn’t doing to great with the camera. It was beautiful

Avery and Jane Same this same song at Sam’s memorial celibration and Ill nevr forget it.

The band played 2 encores after Keepsake.. then the crowd broke up. As hte crowd was clearign. Chad came out.. and we tlaked for a bit. I gave him soem more Samstones. He’s such an increible guy. He does so much work for good causes like the Elias fund, ventrans agains war adnn other good stuff. I really admire him and the band

Man .. it’s 1 AM again.. and I ned to sleep.. Tomorrow I’m doing the Project-x robot. Seth is the tonight running it with Herb. It sounds like it is getting good reviews now.. which makes me happy.. Hope it likes the rain !

So.. note folks.. Nite Sam
