Dateline: Minneapolis

Drove to Mpls. yesterday, an uneventful trip. Ate donuts and Jack Link's beef jerky and drank lots of coffee in the car on the way up - the breakfast of champions!

Arrived in time for a rehearsal, which probably means I've now rehearsed more for this reunion show than I ever did when I was actually still a full-time member of the band. Happily, I can still not recall all of the lyrics to any song - even the ones I wrote.

In the old days I would just sing the words to Monkees songs when I forgot my words, but now I don'teven recall those. Maybe I'll just trail off into incomprehensible muttering when I forget the words now.

Heck, it's quite probable nobody will even notice the difference.

I know I won't.
