Going back to a packed schedule of activity is definitely shocking my system. At the end of every week I find myself physically, mentally, and even medically exhausted. Twice in the past two or three weeks I've miraculously dodged some flu or virus or whatever that would threaten me for a day or so. It's only a matter of time before it overpowers me.

Wednesday I went to see the Tennis Courts and Dorian Taj at the Double Door. Dorian and Wes Hollywood from the Tennis Courts have been around longer than I have, and they're still at it. They put on a good show. Good enough, in fact, that I included them in yesterday's podcast.

Thursday found me at Liars' Club to see Das Gluv. Lauria still knows how to vamp the audience, and I was digging the keyboards in this band. I wanted to include them in my podcast too, but they didn't bring any of their CDs with them. Hey guys? I'm still waiting on that mp3 you promised!

I know I kept this pace easily five years ago. So I have to wonder, have I just grown unused to it, or am I, as Danny Glover would say, "too old for this?" Stay tuned, because I'm certainly not giving up just yet.
