Although that does have some advantages, it does lead to an awfully quiet house. No, don&#8217;t send your kids.\n<li>So what are we doing today? The usual: cleaning the house, doing laundry. Given the predicted heat (105&deg;F), we might go swimming.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/mystikal-corps.org\/main\/index.php?option=content&#038;task=view&#038;id=50&#038;Itemid=61\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mystikal-corps.org\/main\/images\/stories\/drums.jpg\" width=80 height=115 title=\"\"  align=\"Right\"><\/a>This evening, however, we are going to be outside in Newbery Park at <a href=\"http:\/\/mystikal-corps.org\/main\/index.php?option=content&#038;task=view&#038;id=50&#038;Itemid=61\" target=\"_blank\">Drums Across The Pacific<\/a>. The line-up is: Blue Devils B (Concord, CA); Blue Devils C (Concord, CA); Dream (Irvine, CA); Esperanza (San Diego, CA); Hawthorne Gold (Hawthorne, CA); Impulse (Buena Park, CA); Jester (Phoenix, AZ); Mandarins (Sacramento, CA); Mystikal (Newbury Park, CA); Pacific Crest (Diamond Bar, CA); Renegades (Palo Alto, CA); River City Regiment (Sacramento, CA); The Academy (Tempe, AZ); Vanguard Cadets (Santa Clara, CA); Yamato (Riverside, CA\/Kyoto, Japan); and the Edmonton Sabers Marching Band from Edmonton-Alberta, Canada. These are mostly B and C corps (smaller, younger), although there is at least one Division I corp (Mandarins). It should be a good show. If folks want to join us, it is $20\/ticket, cash, at the gate.\n<li>Sunday morning we&#8217;ll likely go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.localharvest.org\/farmers-markets\/M3716\" target=\"_blank\">Encino Farmers Market<\/a>. Last week, the fruit we got there was *wonderful*. We also want to pick up picnic stuff.

This Sunday&#8217;s concert is one we regularly go to: Preservation Hall Jazz Band. It can be a nice evening, if the weather cooperates. Of course, for this, the more, the merrier.
