New York June 2006 Day 1

let me start by saying i'm writing this a week or so after the fact so if part of it gets vague that's the reason.
i left austin 6 AM wed morning june 21 the flight was on time and not much happened. i arrived in rochester new york and jon and terry picked me up and took me back to their house. we had stopped on the way and picked up beer of course and we spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on their back deck drinking beer and playing a few tunes....jon was playing his fiddle and we were having a large time faking as many songs as we could think of. not much of note happened and after a while it was late enough and i was starting to feel a bit jet lagged.
now those of ya'll that know me, know i suffer from insomnia i have a hard time sleeping in the best of times and being in a strange place isn't the best of times....so i decided to take a couple of "blue ones" i figured the blue ones with the beer, and the tequila shots as a catalyst would have the desired effect of inducing a restful night.
good plan....wrong outcome. i woke up about dawn the next morning on the couch (i had gone to bed in their spare bedroom) i started back to my bedroom and found the hallway blocked by a stack of firewood that had fallen out of their wood rack after i fell over it in the middle of the night. now i don't sleepwalk much, in fact pamela says she's only known me to do it once and she won't tell me what i did for fear that i'll die of embarrassment. well i was about ready to die of embarrassment then. damn here my friends had invited me into their home and in the middle of the night i did my best to destroy it. i wasn't exactly sure what had happened. i had a vague recollection of tripping over a fire extinguisher and falling into a wood rack. i was more than a bit nervous waiting for everyone else to wake up, it all worked out, apparently i'm not the first person to trip over the wood rack. we all got good and awake drank coffee and started laying out the rest of the day.
