Learning to let go.

It's 4:22p and I have to get ready to head to Portland to play at the North Star Cafe with Moses (we're opening for Dan Blakeslee). The trouble is that I'm just hitting my stride with MIRL work. I went over to Erin's at about 10 to have coffee and bagels on her porch and spent most of the day reading ULF papers over there while we enjoyed the weather. Now I'm all energized and I have to switch into music mode; it sort of reminds me of when I worked at Friday's since this is about the time when I would have to stop what I was doing at the lab to head in for the dinner shift. I suppose the major difference is that I know I'll have fun playing music.

Come to think of it, I really can't complain, can I? It's summer (despite all the recent rain), I do physics all day and play music at night. I have great friends who I see on a regular basis....Finally, after 27 years, I figured it out!
