I celebrated with a pop-in visit.
Probably didn't stay more than ten minutes. Personal covid practices and routines continue in some ways. I rarely stay in one indoor space for very long.
I had two RSD releases on my shopping list. Got one of them.
Gave a second or two consideration to one or two others but eventually flipped on by.
Picked up Peter Gabriel's, 'Ovo.'
I have it on compact disc, but this is the initial vinyl release (so I read.)
Two records .... one on blue vinyl, the other on orange. The blue sure is pretty.
Though I generally don't care for colored vinyl but if anything, I am a man of vinyl contradictions.
I'm also trying to be a Peter Gabriel completist.
This evening, I see it listed on Amazon for $115. How does Amazon get RSD releases? I thought they were for independent physical shops only?
Anyway, I got it for a lot less than $115. Though it certainly wasn't inexpensive.
Continued the celebration afterwards by stopping by the bakery next door for a dinner of biscuits and gravy and a cinnamon roll for dessert.
The lady sitting at the adjacent table was attempting to teach her 10-ish year-old daughter, the rules and strategy of chess. Something I've never learned.
I pretended to be consumed by whatever was on my phone, but I was actually eavesdropping.
I should have listened more closely .... I still don't know how to play chess.
I'd be at the mercy of the ten-year-old.
