At the library, on the internet.  Will work out abs later. Legs very sore, so no running for now. (Chest, shoulders sore, too.) Plus, with all the rain it is very wet out there!  Gotta go get water jugs filled--found out that the Kroger in south Salem has good water for 30c/gallon.

Went to a house concert last night in Roanoke to see Marshall Chapman.  It was great. Just her and a guitar with about 20 people in the cozy den, complete with a roaring fire on a wet night in Roanoke.   Got to talk to her a lot afterward, she had a story about everybody.  She's 64, and just, to paraphrase a line from Big Mama Thornton, "Nobody tells Marshall Chapman how to sing no song!"  She's her own thing, and it's incredible.

This is her doing my favorite song of hers, Leaving Loachapoka.

And her doing her 'hit,' recorded by Sawyer Brown, I think (thanks, Matt).  Betty's Bein' Bad.
