Notes from Nowhere

A Night of Firsts

 

Brother Scott and Charlotte flew into Durango from Seattle via Twin Falls, ID for a visit last night. (And this morning at some point.)

Firsts:

  • First time meeting Charlotte who is lovely and delightful – and who plays the vibes. Very cool. And the accordion. Very, uhm, cool? Absolutely. NOTE: if you’re ever out jamming and Charlotte’s on vibes, you better bring it.
  • First time hugging anyone since the plague
  • First time seeing Scotty this year (or last year?)
  • First time eating at a restaurant vs. take-out. We sat outside at Himalayan Kitchen where the service was friendly and efficient and where the food was outstanding across the board. Mine was ‘mixed grill’. Tonight, left over mixed grill.
  • First time anyone I know is staying at the Caboose Motel in Durango. Yes, caboose-themed. They’re digging the ambience, we’ll have to see how well they slept.

Their Caboose room

  • First time seeing this season’s South Park premiere which is, of course, an extended Pandemic episode. We watched it together at my place after dinner…
