There’s a honey bee batting at the window outside. I can’t imagine how it’s survived this long. It wafted away on the wind a moment ago, and I’m sure it’ll mix with the leaves and dirt and be invisible in seconds. It’s good to be almost-home. Almost-home meaning I got back to Maryland in time…

Tonight was just one of the best nights I’ve ever had at College Perk. I’m missing the old guard – Mitzi’s absence behind the bar, Amy, Meg and Liz. I’m not sure where they all are, but I miss their presence. A lot of people are running home to distant families, which is a good…

A strange world I Live in. I’m thinking about writing some Rules of Human Behaviour. Engagement with the enemy type SOPs Laid out and intelligent, it could cover most every encounter and solve problems, mend wounds, walk on water. Yeah, we’re not going to discuss this picture. It’s so strange Living like this. I used…

We can’t compete with Harry Potter. That’s a scary thing to think. A very scary thing to think. We’re in California talking up tomorrow’s Jozart Studio gig, and we’re getting a pretty consistant response of “wow, we really Love you guys, wow! Full band?!? Wow! Oh, it sucks that Harry Potter comes out tomorrow!” It’s…

Mid-november. Heather and I are sleeping in Philadelphia with the windows open wishing that we were in a place in our world (or a place in THE world) where we could sleep naked. To say that it’s unseasonably warm would be an understatement. Philadelphia is full of distant sound – it reminds me of Baltimore,…

Ugh. Long day, long night… we’re taking the night off to make up for it. Heather and I are in Philadelphia with Shane. We don’t get to see him nearly enough – we’ve GOT to make more excuses to come to Philadelphia! Perhaps we have them after last night, but it was kind of grueling. As…

Connecticut’s been a really good time. Lovely state. The driving takes too long, and the crowds are too small, and no-one anywhere can pay us what we’re worth, but I Love the people. I tried to explain on Saturday night, that Connecticut is the South of the North. That the people in Connecticut have just…

Connecticut is endeavouring to make up for the drive with being obstinately beautiful at us. The skies of cleared to a shock blue that vibrates the oranges and yellows and flames of the trees. I think that that’s maybe why so many animals are colour-blind… lest they be overwhelmed by the glory around them and…

Hrm. We passed him in Pennsylvania some place. I don’t know… I assume he’s a signal for aliens, of some sort. Tired as all get out, yet singing and tea have pushed my cold back, and I’ve got high hopes for sleep tonight. I’m often horrified by how large Connecticut is. It has no right…
