Hi. I’ve been waiting to write this. I fell ill. Not bad, but the same symptoms I had when I first got covid. I went to the free Austin walk up testing site at Dove Springs and got tested. I was amazed thinking “how many reasonably healthy people get infected twice after being vaccinated?” I thought how, in the busiest couple weeks in a year and a half, I’d have to shut it down. And the result came back in about 16 hours: negative. So, the schedule is on! The Squirrel Show is back (after today. No Squirrel show today). I’ll be playing polkas on a barge around the river was in San Antonio on Saturday, Playing with my good friend Rich Krueger at Reverie Books on Monday, calling the turkey race at the Cuero Turkeyfest, and engaging in a bunch of entertaining shows and endeavors. For those of you who tune in to “The Kids’ Show,” it moved to 9:30am in the morning. And just in case you forgot, “The Squirrel Show” is brought to you by Lobster Guru. “Lobster Guru: he knows what they’re thinking.” Ok, leeeeeeet’s go get ‘em!
