To quote the late, great Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess character in Downton Abbey - "What is a weekend?"

One has the whole weekend to look forward to. Saturday night is just: last night of freedom before having to face the next work week.

But... I was usually off by myself, because everyone else was working.

Then, everyone would have grand plans for the weekend, and I would not be able to participate, because I was being a wage slave.

So, there is a trade-off, I guess. Unless you can find others who are willing to set up their schedules with yours.

I prefer not to do so.

I spend enough time doing that already. Not by choice.

Unfortunately, no one else seems willing to help me with this, so I am alone, whether I like it or not.

That kind of goes with the territory.

But, I do not expect that. I just want some friends. Ones that exist in the same area of the city as I do. Ones that I can visit and that would visit me. Ones that can share these last days (however many there are left) so that I am not insane when I pass.

But...

Saturdays 7:00-9:00pm (Pacific) Hosted by Downtown Deb
Dead Air with Downtown Deb features music of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia Band, and much more. Deb has a discerning ear and shares quality selections from legendary live concerts, rare highlights, and fine studio releases. Dead Air is the genuine article, saturating the vast audio radiance, bringing the experience of the music to listeners far and wide.

I like marking the end of the week with music. Beats using trash day in retirement!
