Today, I had a doctor's appointment to take out the stitches in my neck - both sides.
It hurt, as it usually does. No bueno. She had to use a couple different pairs of scissors because of the size of the knots in the sutures. ANYWAY, once it was all done, she helped Cher with her thumb, which has been bothering her.
Then we went to Dick's, which is like, the shadiest burger joint in Seattle, but also? The best. You'll seriously see a millionaire standing next to a bum eating a cheeseburger.
ANYWAY...
You'll also always see someone bumming for money. Sometimes, they're singing or playing an instrument. Today, there was this guy who was playing an electric guitar. Music? Jimi Hendrix.
So, after we order, Cher says to me, "Think he'd play 'The Wind Cries Mary'?" Which is what I'd just been thinking. So, I take $3 over and drop it into his tin and ask if he takes requests. He says, "If I know it, I will." So, I request and he says that he needs to tune his guitar, but he'll do it for me. And maaaaaaaaaaaaan, did he.
It was AMAZING and AWESOME. :D
So, Cher and I stand there and listen and it's fantaaaaaaaaaastic and then, he says, "I'm going to play this one just for you." And proceeds to play, 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong. Which is a song that I did a ballet to waaaaaaaay back when. ♥
After it's over, he says again how he'd played it just for me and I thank him and I'm about a half-second from crying and then we go back to the car, have lunch and head home.
Such a long day (it didn't end there). Another long day tomorrow. I hurt.
