Blog 2
Was sick yesterday with a cold or something. Right after work we had a pretty long practice, then it was right to bed. Therefore no blog. Figured out my schedule for the next few months. Ill be teaching after school gardening classes Monday thru Thursday, and working at Habitat Friday and Saturday. This will be good though, because it will allow me to play more music actually, since I wont have to get up early on school days, and if we go out of town for gigs on the weekend and I can take off from Habitat, whereas I couldn’t do that with teaching.
I’m feeling good after hearing about Al Frankin today, especially after watching all the news today on NBC and Jim Lehrer about out health care situation. The News Hour was pointing out that only 2% of medical students go into Primary Care because they make an average of $180,000 a year. It takes along time to pay back their loans and they have to work many hours a week. They also have to spend 50% of their time talking to insurance workers and filling out papers for them, and also figuring out which medicines they can prescribe based on insurance. I guess all doctors must do this in America right now, yet some still cling we have the best health care in the world despite all the facts that point in the opposite direction.
Tonight we will be heading down to Emo’s for free night to see Full Stride. Hopefully get a ride down there in the band van and catch a cab back. I dont really like going downtown, but for a free show and drink tickets I just might. I just might.
