I don’t know – I just don’t know. My brain simply is not working today – full of nothing, or full of fluff. My brain isn’t cooperating and my arms are cramped and my fingers are not flowing. I’ve been painting for three days and it seems like I can’t get anything right – everything…

The Magpie Faerie – she’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold (can you tell we tried out Led Zeppelin tunes out on the audience last night?) (thank Janna for the picture) Shirley Temple and the infamous Magpie Faerie at the College Perk in College Park, MD. Hrm. My meal after a long,…

Across the street from the Seminary in Forest Glen, MD – there’s a vet who will ONLY work on cats. I’m imaging perhaps that’s because they actually DON’T like cats and only like poking cats with needles. It’s the only possible explanation. So strange to see the grounds of the Seminary under the treads of…

Well, Heather’s toe is getting worse. I’m worried for it. A couple of days ago, still in California, I’d noticed she was limping, and since then it’s swollen considerably, turned quite the exciting shade of red, and become really, really painful. I spent most of Friday running her from doctor’s appointments to x-ray places to…

Hee! A groundhog on the shore of Lake Eerie. He ran down to the water to be away from us and then looked off into the grey like an old grizzled fisherman. I want to go down to the rocks and hang with this guy, but have the feeling he’d vanish and then I’d get…

I’m riding down the Pennsylvania interstates in a state of euphoria. Snow is swirling past us, and they’re expecting a couple of inches over night. We’re definitely stopping off in California for the night now, neither of us want to cross the mountains in the snow in the dark. Done it. Don’t need to do…

A very long drive yesterday – driving from Western Illinois all the way to eastern Ohio, Heather and I arrived at Sara’s parents’ house after about eleven hours in the car, utterly exhausted. No one had an easy travel day – Indianapolis traffic broadcasts said terrible things like “All the North East is just a mess!”…

It’s 3.56am, and tomorrow we’ll be suffering a time change as we drive East to Ohio, so it may as well be nearly five in the morning. I’ve determined that capuccino martinis are not good things. I’m tossing and turning, much to Heather’s subconscious lament, I’m sure, and just generally running things over and over again…

Heather and I have just returned from playing the open mic at the Shanti in St. Louis, MO – Heather’s cold is in insanely full swing, and though they would’ve have had us play all night, we begged off after only four songs… It was a shame, I think I could’ve had a pretty nice…

Ugh. Heather’s sneezy and SO very unhappy. We’ve spent the last couple of days relaxing and taking it easy; a weekend offset by 24 hours. Unfortunately, I think Heather’s body took that as a sign that the world was slowing down and it could relax its guard. She’s got unholy amounts of mucous worthy of…
