Early circle meeting

Saturday: Woke around 9 AM. An alarm had gone off at 8, but I'd ignored it. MB on the phone: We were having circle meeting and might need to pick up David. Threw on clothes. Drank a soda. Down basement and brief morning practices. Called David and asked if he needed a ride. It turned out yes. Some water in the basement, so I moved some stuff in case it got worse, and did a little wet-vacing.

Headed off to pick up David around 9:35. The roads weren't so bad. He wasn't able to get his car out, as it was at the end of his drive, which was all snowed in. Stopped at a donut shop for coffee and some food. Arrived at Jane's studio around 10:30. I buzzed some random buttons and got someone to let us into the building. Up to the fifth floor with Martin (who'd arrived before everyone) MB David and myself. 16 bar exercise. Third Relation. First primary. Victor showed up, and we had a rehearsal. "Passage" is not as together as one would hope, but Eye of the Needle was sounding pretty good. Afterwards, loaded the speakers and such into the freight elevator, and then off-loaded them into Martin's car. David got a ride home with Martin. MB dropped me back at the house before heading to her language class.

Leftover Chinese food. I gave Gus his treatments and watched an episode of Six Feet Under. Then took a look at my guitar. The truss rod needed adjusting, which explained why I had been needing to set my action high to avoid buzzing on the high frets. Played some, a new piece beginning to form. MB returned home. We hung out a bit. She ate a PB&J. Coffee.

I did some shoveling out along the side of the house while MB got ready for her evening belly-dance gig. I was hoping to avoid more water coming into the cellar. As she was heading out, I walked out also to pick up pizza and salad. At this while watching another Six Feet Under. Walked the DVD back to the store. The new neighbors two doors down have disemboweled their basement, large trash bags and refuse in the yard. Back at home, cleaning in the basement. Now completing the day.
