Day Whaaaa???

I think I just lived through the longest weekend ever. I don't know how, but we packed so much into this weekend - some of it planned, some not. Some of it totally wacky! Like the parade on Saturday. 100 firetrucks, 500 firefighters and 30 marching bands. All of whom descended upon our neighborhood (staging area for the parade) and proceeded to tailgate for 2 hours before the parade started. I was doing my workout on the back deck Sat afternoon to the sounds of 6 bagpipers warming up. For the record, 6 bagpipers easily sounds like an entire legion of bagpipers. Truly. Awesome.
I could have hung out on the street for hours totally digging this once-in-a-lifetime experience. I mean, how often does a parade start right in front of your house?? But - Dan and I were also rushing around to get ready to leave for the Catskills and the Ramble. Remember how the B&B Lady cancelled our reservation at the last minute? Well, we made some calls and ended up staying here:
A totally tricked out Airstream trailer, part of Kate's Lazy Meadow Motel near Woodstock, NY. Owned by Kate Pierson of the B-52's. How wacky is THAT???

So, the Ramble. UnbeLIEVable. Levon Helm (of The Band) lives in Woodstock and built an incredible barn/recording studio/performance space where he gives shows once a month for an intimate crowd of 150 or so. His band is TOPS, and Levon - in his 70's now? - rocks the hell out. Plus, each show features a guest artist or three. The reason we got tickets for this particular show: Anders Osborne. I'm a huge fan of this man and his music - he makes my heart go pitter-patter. :) Highlight of the night - besides his scorching set - was finally getting to meet him and shake his hand. Sigh! Wish I had a picture - no cameras allowed at the barn.

Many other weekend events besides these, too numerous to mention, really. One quick PCP-related thing: didn't have time to do today's SUPERset workout until tonight. Finished around 9:30pm...completely wrecked, etc., but also elated that I made it through. Tomorrow, I was planning to be home in the morning to do the last HUGE workout without interruption. Don't know if I'll be up for it, though, with only 12 hours in between. Otherwise, I'll be doing it at night again (not my favorite). Guess I'll see how the bod feels in the AM. On that note...

G'night, all!
