"it used to go like that, now it goes like this"--zimmie

that cough... the kind that loosens all the unused parts of illness
it has moved around and taken various portions of my skull...
a disappointment... i don't believe in sickness

january was a battle. a rehearsal process which seemed quite hopeless,
cold temperatures, distractions to creativity, and not enough latin music.

i drove around for a while this morning listening to the los llanos disc which
l'aro had made for me some time ago. it did my heart good.

february had brought the opening of the play... Sweeney Todd
all indications were for a shit storm... however, as these things tend to do,
hearts were pulled inside out and a small group of performers and workers
put forth a wonderful tale. we stopped with all the strife, negativity, and doubt
and simply told a story... from the guts. it has been a great run. we will close
with four shows this weekend.

april is on my mind these days... i will visit thailand april 6-23rd. it will be nice
to work my life with a little less distance for a while... sometimes physical seperation
weighs heavy... from both my lady and my fellow friars...
as we talked of for a small bit at the new year, there is a great sense of anticipation and
transition in the air, i have a tendency to live in thought rather than action... i'm working on it

do not fade
