How rugged I am

So you want to know how rugged I am?

A few moons ago when it was warmer out I was down in the library, 3 sheets to the wind, laying down some tunes. The room was appropriately dark as I was doing my big screen light show blanking the screens at the silences between songs.

About halfway into the session I figured out something was under my tapping foot. Did not look down obviously until the song was over and the screen went dark. In the faint light that remained I could make out something shiny, flat about the size of a silver dollar.

What could it be? Whatever it was it was not worth killing the vibe so I played on.

During the next song even though it was not Who Do You Love I figured out what it was. A piece of snakeskin off the bottom of my shoe. I had been cleaning up outside and we constantly get large snakeskins shed around the fence. No big deal, cool in a way and no reason to stop the session.

Broke off playing about 1 AM and turned on the lights.

Two hours later I went to bed after I had fully removed the chewed, sticky gum that I’d pounded into the carpet through the silver wrapper I put around it before I put it in my shorts pocket earlier in the day.
