Erie&#8217;s favorite one-hit wonders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up until yesterday afternoon I was considering it, but the drive to Erie and back &#8212; six hours, each way and needing to stay overnight &#8212; really made the decision for me.  Work deadlines kicked my buttocks this week, and I need some downtime.  I&#8217;ve have loved the experience &#8212; a road trip, a new ballpark, the Oneders reunion &#8212; and the Erie Seawolves were playing the Harrisburg Senators, but I didn&#8217;t need the expense, and I&#8217;m not as young as I used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will probably always nag me that I didn&#8217;t go, but I&#8217;ll be okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I should work on that sequel script to <em>That Thing You Do!<\/em> I keep talking about; that&#8217;s nagging at me, too.  It will never get made, but I like the central idea of it, and I should put it down on paper.  And, weirdly, the death of Charlie Watts last week gave me another idea; Watts, like Skitch Patterson, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/09\/02\/1033382555\/charlie-watts-jazz-remembrance-rolling-stones\">a jazz drummer<\/a>, not a rock drummer, and jazz was his love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow morning I&#8217;ll decide if I want to go to the York Revolutions&#8217; <em>Spaceballs<\/em> night.  Disney pumped the breaks on minor league teams&#8217; <em>Star Wars<\/em> nights this year, which I am perfectly fine with.  They used to be special, but they became ubiquitous, and the specialness is gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I genuinely thought about going to Erie, Pennsylvania this weekend.
