As those swallows start returning to Capistrano, so too does the maple sap start runnin', the pancakes start a' flappin', and the fish start to frying.
(Oh yeah! Just saw my Robin buddy in the yard for the first time yesterday! Hope he can outrun or outfly them thar coyotes!
)I'll let others talk about those scrumptious pancake breakfasts that go with all that fresh maple syrup.
My post right now simply deals with fishy stuff. (Perhaps like a few other posts on the 'Deck just might from time to time?
)Anyway, a number of local Lakewood churches, as well as Lakewood's Masonic Temple, are having their Lenten fish eating events, beginning today, yes TODAY dear readers!
For those of you who've never been to a Masonic Temple, Lakewood's century-old building at 15300 Detroit Ave. is an amazing place. Plenty of parking around back, and the entrance is right there too. Should be plenty of fish, good conversation, and yes, I'll be dropping by, as well, with a little music; including the banjo and my musical saw. Never heard one of those? They are a legendary blast from the past from the live theater days. Even though those old theaters are rapidly becoming rubble, you can still catch my act! Other entertainers, like the equally legendary Mark "Shane" Phillips and his one-man-band plan to be at some of these events, along with other cool cats on other weeks.
You might even talk me into giving you a tour of the Temple, if you come down.
Some of my friends even have "fish fry friends" who go to a different fish fry every week. Sounds like a great habit to get into!
Back to the banjo...
