Back at work today, feeling way better.

Yesterday we went to a picnic put on by the Ligue Henri IV, which was a fraternal organization to support men and their families from the southwest of France for over 100 years until last year when membership was opened to women as well. I've been a member since I was 14 years old (age of admission) and my siblings and kids are all For the picnic, the Ligue provides grilled lamb and loaves of French bread for the princely sum of $5.00 per person. The members and guests bring the rest of their meals and beverages. I should have shown you the two trays of lamb we had -- a whole leg and multiple large racks of ribs -- along with six large loaves. It was excellent lamb and perfectly grilled.

This was a weird collaboration, but ultimately I think it works.

Back when Kenny was cool. Can anyone point out another famous band member? He was in many well known movies including Slingblade. Also made multiple appearances on Home Improvement.

I loved the Beasties and MCA turned into such a great human that is was extra tragic to lose him so young. Seems weird that was 13 years ago. I saw them twice, 20 years apart. In 1987, I saw them at small club on a the Licensed To Ill tour, their first headlining tour, with Fishbone or Murphys Law opening, which was fucking nuts. In 2007, they were at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, which isn't the biggest joint but still a very different experience.

Adam "MCA" Yauch died 13 years ago today. August 8, 1964 - May 4, 2012. His is one of the few celebrity deaths I mark every year. Kurt Cobain might be the most iconic Gen X musician, but I maintain that the Beasties were the true voice of the entire generation.

Al's Sister Corrine is bringing me some easy meals, fruits, Musinex and tests. I'm guessing someone read and passed on the news. Good friends are my wealth!
