My Mom says I'm a catch....I'm popular.

Cheers.  It's Thursday night and 80 degrees in beautiful Cleveland, Ohio.  I'm mentally preparing myself for a 6 hour drive to the District of Columbia in the morning.

On the horizon: A super awesome rock and roll show at the fabled 9:30 Club in D.C. to see one of my Top Ten fave bands....Nada Surf.

And YES....they have more songs than "Popular".  Trust me, they have 40 better songs (check out "Let Go" and "The Weight is a Gift"...and, hell, they don't even play "Popular" live...well at least at the other 4 times I've seen them.

Anyway, so that is that....a 6 hour drive at the crack of dawn, and then two nights in D.C.  I can't wait.

The only downside to all of this is, frankly, my diet.  I honestly take this seriously.  I need some sort of continuity in my life, man.  Anytime you take a trip, it just BREEDS bad behavior.  It's just SO EASY to give up for a few days, you know...just eat and drink like an idiot with no filter or restraint....ugh.

So...I suppose we'll see how I do, huh??  I am REALLY going to try this time.  I'm packing a few healthy snacks: beef jerkey for the late night crave, a few pieces of fruit, and a few nutrigrain bars.

I'm all set!  No worries!! lol
