memorial service, inside a bar

 recently i saw a facebook invite from the fancy comic about a memorial service inside a bar. i had performed there before, but it had been a while, definitely pre-covid. this was in arden hills, and there was mention of a comedy show after it. it was a cold night, but i decided to go anyway. thankful i did, and not just due to the stage time. i also saw a comic that i recall performing with at a saints game many years ago, at that event he was dressed up as 'gumby'. when i arrived i said a man with a guitar, from the side, looked like former WCCO news anchor don shelby, but i found out it wasn't. in the break between the memorial service and comedy show, i ordered the evening meal. i got a bottle of grain belt, along with a reuben sandwich and fries. i largely did my set 'from the hip', usually i write down what i want to do. i spoke of printing checks at the bank, not talking about stand-up at the bank, seeing the movie 'major league', and the song 'pink pony club'. there were two NFL playoff games, watched only part of both. when i saw the time this event started, i knew i had to get on the road right away. the first game ended when i was at the bar. i didn't see much of the second game there, but i did once i had driven home from the bar. the chiefs beat the texans in the first game, and the commanders beat the lions in the second. it didn't look good for the lions when i got home, already trailing by ten at the half. i hear it was the turnovers that doomed the lions. i stayed busy in the morning as well. i went to pick up the toner cartridge, at the bank location i was formerly assigned to. i picked up a bottle of Dunkin donuts coffee from the nearby Walgreen as well. then it was on to dropping it off at my current office. had to call security to get buzzed in, since it is the weekend after all. when i got it up to the check shop, on a small cart, i opened the box and saw there was two cartridges inside. so i can likely afford to skip a month on ordering those. i paid for one hour of parking near the building, but i think i was in and out in about twenty minutes. it was what i preferred as i had other things to do. then it was on to the post office, one order was picked up. and i had a sandwich at jersey mike's. i opted to move it back a week on a movie i'd like to see at theaters and watched a DVD movie at home after getting back from the sandwich shop. it was 'major league', i recall seeing it at theaters decades ago. the movie still works for me. i watched some of the special features as well, including an interview with bob uecker, who played the broadcaster in it. after this was done i got groceries at aldi. during my walks i found 1 dollar 1 cent.
