Today i re-rehearse the shows so i can do them on the road next week. Yep, travelling again. I feel scattered as if i've left pieces of myself all over the country.~w

We're off to see the wizard shaken not stirred or something like that.~w

If days are like rivers flowing past us, then today i can see a rather large rapid ahead that i'll have to pass to move on to tomorrow. It's times like this that it might seem simplier to get out of the boat and walk, but what would that accomplish? It's only by learning to navigate the rough spots that there is any sense of accomplishment. They make it a relief to get back into calmer waters where everything flows by easily as "just another day." Although i've seen plenty of people flailing around in calm water to create a sense of "drama" so that it is more interesting. However, if you're too busy looking behind you or complaining about the handful of water in your boat (or crying wolf for that matter) you get blindsided by real crisis. Somedays you may brace for what looks like a nasty set of rapids only to discover that you can flow swiftly and easily through them. Somedays, those deceptively calm looking waters catch you off guard. In all cases it is probably safest to keep you attention on the current moment and try to enjoy the view as much as you can.~w

Maybe i've always lived on the wrong time. I don't seem to be able to get myself turned around.

Maybe i just move slow sometimes.

Maybe i'm working into making "just another day" an "exciting new adventure" as all good days should be.

Maybe i'm avoiding the issue.

Maybe i've been avoiding the issue so long i've forgotten what that issue is and am trying to figure it out.

Maybe i should just get my feet moving toward work.~w

Well i haven't managed to recover from jet lag yet...i couldn't get to sleep last night, and i couldn't wake up this morning. It still feels like 6:45am even though it's 9:45. The heap of work i found on my desk was scary, but not insurmountable. Still i should have been into the office by now. Gotta get moving...~w

I'm back in Asheville now. Barely awake i remember most about yesterday the searing pain on the left side of my head as we landed in Cincinnati, OH. I had forgotten i had a cold in my head until then. Other than that the plane travel went as smoothly as it possibly could. Okay maybe it was a little bumpy coming into Asheville and that slowed us down a bit so that we were a little late...but all in all not bad. I forgot to mention yesterday that Dad and Grandma were kind enough to take me out to Sushiman for sushi on Saturday night as a nice capper to the whole visit. I also enjoyed a nice quiet day of doing nothing much but puttering around Dad's house. Now...i suppose i should get myself to work, they'll be plenty of stuff waiting for me...~w

It's early morning here and i'm getting moving to fly home where it's not so early. After 10 days of pacific time, jet lag to eastern will be nasty...especially with a cold in my head. I don't think my brain is awake enough to form any other sentences yet today.~w
