busy week, couple of weeks. something like 13 shows and some recording in 9 days. jane and bridge away for the weekend, but i was just too tired to move. feeling somewhat isolated these days. absorbed on my treadmill where my relationships are quite established, or there are constraints to do with my role either way the path of least resistance being to pick up where things were left off, in a paradigm where things are mainly predetermined by what has come before. anyhow the challenge seems to be about being self affirming as in what it takes to go into the kitchen and cook well for only oneself, as much as recharging the lines of force.

not the easiest week, console power supply gong down and one little set back after another, fell on some ice and sprained my wrist. suffered through some shows and a few bad nights sleep. jane's sister and family came to town for a pretty pleasant visit. it's always a fun challenge to have company especially in our tiny house. bridge's cousin claire fascinated by our mouse. bridge learning to read. finished go dog go....

big week at blue man, putting new instruments in to a piece there. now i get to be professional rock bassist. lots of fun, but not with out first upsetting some people inadvertantly, it's amazing how that happens sometimes, the misunderstandings, the way people are reasonably offended despite the best of intentions. all very tiring. all of this followed by a show where pretty much every little twiddly thing that can misbehave does so. strange how matter almost has a mind of it's own, at times, and it seems as if the more one has the a certain degree of mastery over a small corner of an environment the more blatant it gets. probably i (and some of the others at work as well) need a vacation. jane's called for one today, her suffering anxiet as this week her artist of the year show is to be judged and while i don't think she cares at all about the competition, it is always a challenge for her to be scrutinized. bridge is well, we spent a a lot of time acquire some legos yesterday. and today built some awesome spaceships, and had a great walk in the golf course. there is an amazing hill waiting to be shedded if we ever get some show....
