trumpet player sighting

 when i was taking the first of two buses home from work i boarded and decided to sit near the door next to someone who looked familiar. it was a trumpet player i recall from some open mic shows i had performed at pre-covid. the dude called me a celebrity when i was getting off near the hockey arena, i had to laugh about that as i don't see myself as one. at work the boss was in the shop, it was unexpected as it is usually just once a week. some mention of too noisy on his floor due to construction workers. it led to me re-opening the case on the newer printer, although it led to an annoyance on my part. there was no warning that the printer would be re-booted remotely, and it was in the middle of printing one of the Fargo files. it was a total of nearly two thousand checks in the file and i had to re-print most of them. when it was re-booted remotely earlier in the week, i didn't care as much as no files were printing at the time. the boss wanted the case re-opened due to overflow pages, and we don't get that many of those. i drank a can of miller with the evening meal and now there are four beers waiting. when i was taking a cart back to a nearby store i noticed there was something still in it, an unopened pack of trident gum, it was bubble gum flavor. i claimed it. on Facebook there was plenty of postings about the 75th anniversary of the first Charlie Brown comic strip, and no surprise how i hit 'like' on most of those that i saw. i even spoke of getting a shirt and jersey this season at baseball games that had this theme.
