Some Good Stuff

On this day of reflection, I thought I'd do a little deflection:

1. Big Drag is playing at the House in Dekalb on Thursday. I recommend getting there a little early and having a bite to eat.

2. Supercush is playing at Otto's Underground on Friday. It's a benefit show for a girl who has had some overwhelming medical bills, if I understand correctly. Nothing feels better than rock for a cause (over a 32-ounce beer).

3. Mixed berries. I used to get homemade pies at McMillion's grocery in Dekalb (w/Genia the butcher!) and "fruits of the forest" was my favorite. Our farmer's market now features "the Pie Lady" who makes vegetarian food, including excellent mixed berry pies. Since the farmer's market ends this month, I'll switch over to THIS. Best... Preserves... Ever.
