I called my dentist and made an appointment for a chipped tooth
After a wedding in tahoe, i think it was maybe from the farro or the roasted mushrooms
There’s something magical about the mountain air up there
I didn’t know the bride’s friends very well but i left an impression on all the parents
Any time you get a bunch of 30-something single white women in the same room
Who’ve known each other almost their whole lives it’s gonna be hard to punch through
Thе thick barrier of brunches, bloody marys and sparkling white winе
And hey that’s their thing and i think that’s just fine
And we talked about buying
A house over there
But i got enough going on
Like, i’m at tiny telephone right now
And i’d like to finish up
A couple more songs
Everybody’s talking
Talk talk talk
Everybody’s sipping
Sip sip sip
I stayed close to my girlfriend who maybe felt a little differently
Shaking my head, don’t single her out because of her ethnicity
Like all the middle aged aunts and uncles bringing up their big trip to pakistan
Or the berkeley folks like, “i love biryani, what’s that good place called with all the different naan”
But i had a great time, and i appreciate all the work they put into it
Those two have a great thing going on and we relaxed back by the fire pit
At the river grill, listening to all the classics while the girls were sippin’ and flockin’
Like harvest moon and harry nilsson’s everybody’s talkin’
And we talked about neil young and music from the past
All night long
All night long
I turn thirty-five in a few days
And i gotta take care
Of this chip in my tooth on monday
A chip in my tooth
A chip in my tooth
A chip in my tooth
A chip in my tooth
Just as i finished up an overdue haircut at joe’s barbershop
In a rare event my phone rang, it was my dad calling me up
My phone’s display reminded me i still haven’t taken my mom’s name off the caller id
My dad wanted to let me know he was shipping her gibson ripper bass from the mid-70s to me
Due to a hack job repair, involving a metal washer, that bass has electrocuted me several times over the years
Voivod played slim’s this spring, and jason newstead showed up playing an identical bass during a surprise encore appearance
My dad had to run and get a few hundred gallons of fuel for his new place to last through the winter
And now i’m planning another stop by gary brawer to check the ripper’s neck, and i’m sure some other repairs will be in order
And we talked about my dad’s friend gene
Who lives down in maine
They’ve been friends since high school and i don’t even know how long that’s been
And my dad told me there’s no more news today
And everyone’s doing okay
And although i was afraid to bring it up, i hope that since my dad didn’t say anything, that gene’s recovering pretty good from his stroke
Everyone’s okay
Everyone’s okay
Everyone’s doing okay
Everyone’s doing okay
