All good things
Well, we put Byron on the 7:45 bus this evening, bringing our wonderful visit to a close. A great show, some recording, and lots and lots of time spent just hanging around and laughing. He and his wife are just the sort of people we like having around. Even after 10 days, it never felt at all demanding having them in the house, which is cramped even without guests. We sang and played, watched movies good and bad, ate chocolate, drove around... It's a real pity they live so far away. Family and friends are all far away from this city where we live. But visits help to ease the distance in a way that instant chat and e-mail and phone calls can't quite replicate.
I find myself feeling energized, and I want to hold onto the sensation of being human for the first time in ages. I know there'll be a bit of a backslide, but I hope I have the strength to seize this opportunity to start making some meaningful decisions concerning where the heck I'm going. Momentum builds momentum.
Once I get some editing done I'll post some pictures from the show, and maybe some audio. Haven't even listened to the recording to see if it's any good. Thankfully, the only feedback was of the "great show" variety
Take care

Justin- sounds like you are doing great. Thanks for dropping by to my abandoned site :p
I am actually on myspace (i know- i gave in ... ) I write on this site- and have mostly poetry and songs and adventures in my new life of prenatal motherhood! this is the site address in case you are on board there as well! http://www.myspace.com/robin_mckim
Good to hear from you... and wonderful to hear the music is still playing... keep up the momentum... spring will be here in a few months too- I've always found that tends to help too!
Justin: I would love to hear the audio. It's always a thrill to hear musical efforts of friends and acquaintances. It must have been great to play in front of an audeince again. Only performers understand that thrill.
BTW. the link in my comment is wrong. It should be http://www.xanga.com/superchef.
Good friends are wonderful to have around.
Sheesh! I missed the whole visit. But I can go back and read about it.
You're quite versatile with your interests, and I love that profile picture!! Was that for an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet?! Hope your momentum picks up so you can make clear decisions. Thanks for your visit--come back again!
We had such a great time at your place. We're in Wales now having another blast. Hopefully it won't be terribly long before we can visit again.
Selling an album might make it easier.

Good luck.
