Hambone soup day, before the Violent Femmes

I'm making hambonebean soup today in our lovely donated crockpot, and later, sinus infection and all, K and I will walk over to the Rialto to wall-eye with the Violent Femmes. They must be older than I am, so I hope they are in the mood to play. Last night we went to a intertribal pow wow at the race tracks with M & A. We all participated in a round dance and my thighs burned afterward. I'd say we only went around in the round two or three times, but it was a big circle and a slow repetitive pace. Thin crowd cuz we got there so late, but good to get out into the air and visit the tribal members being ceremonious. We ate some of the largest frybreads I've ever had, and drank hot cocoa after. It was good though, to get out, especially because it seems like a pretty depressing year end. I am a little depressed and have a lot of work to do...so I think I'll stop this now. I hope everyone's last week of the year...last few days now...goes without harm.
