Counting Carbos

An ambivalent sky today. No discernable clouds. No discernable sky either. Just a blanket of neutral gray. The temps have dropped dramatically over the past few days and gave us a sweet weekend.

We saw the Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows at Jones Beach Theater Friday night. Thank yous to Taso and Kimi for an unforgetable eve. Jones Beach Theater is arguably the coolest music venue on the planet. The stage literally sits on the water as you overlook the Atlantic. The setting just opens you right up to accept whatever's played at ya. There could've been a dixieland band with washboards n spoons up there and it wouldn't have mattered.

K and I were dubbing them "Counting Carbos," the singer and lead guitarist have serious obesity issues. And the signature crop of dreadlocks spilling from the top of the singer's head was fodder for a little mid-concert brainstorm. What does that ridiculous hair make him look like? Here's what K and I came up with:

1. A Court Jester
2. An Aloe Plant
3. A Big Muppet
4. The Fountain Head
5. A Fat Ass Pineapple
6. An A-hole with a Ridiculous Hair-Do

Today marks K's first day as a licensed personal trainer. Just left the house a few minutes ago to embark on her new career. She will spend the next few weeks shadowing the gym owner to learn ze ropes. If all goes to plan, she'll be abusing her own clients in no time.

Perhaps she should contact Counting Carbos?
