fredxmertzyes. So I'll have my last full-time shift at Sheltercare Garden Place tomorrow (Wednesday, February 11) and i will start back up as a full time taxi driver for Oregon taxi as early as Thursday.... as early as 6 am Thursday. Melissa has been offered a job in Portland, which she intends to accept. The divorce is still not yet final. it looks like my daighter will be staying with me full time, possibly until March, and possibly until June, if she can stand me for that long: in order to finish out the school year here in Eugene.
there's more.... but I'm a little shook up with just these changes, such as they are....
Old Nick's is nearing readiness, its a combined effort from my neighbor, Emily, Tim the 'secret hippy' bass player of the Soothesayers, and Jevon Peck who had been running the Tiny Tavern the last few years. Soothesayers will be opening for DOA there on April 17. I'm super stoked that my pals Pirate Radio are also playing this show
I had a birthday, and I'm old. I threw a little "MertzFest" at Black Forest in January, featuring Soothesayers and Davy Jones Locker Combo. It was pretty well attended. Soothesayers played well, but my trusty Mesa Boogie took a poop on me, I knew there were some issues: it had been worked on by notorious Liar/Thief/Violent, destructive former house-mate and child abuser David Nickles. He also broke my Fender Dual Showman reverb, so his skills as an amp repair tech have been called into question. I no longer see his ads on Craigslist, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who has issues in this realm.
I'm working on a deal to buy out Melissa's ownership of the Polk House (once known as Mertz Manor) though I will hate leaving my place in the Whiteaker, it makes better sense, as long as I can rent out one or 2 of the bedrooms.
I'm in counseling, and I'm working to get my daughter to see a counselor, so far she has been resistant, and Melissa simply refuses any kind of counseling, as she says she doesn't want to re-live painful memories, she prefers to bottle them up deep inside where they will fester indefinitely.
