with the break in the weather, it’s been breezy.
as a result, my soundtrack has to be just right.
first it was The Jayhawks-Tomorrow the Green Grass…
now it’s The Mysteries of Life-Come Clean which is an amazing album from beginning to end.

just got in a bit ago from seeing the second of three Carroway shows of this week.
last night at Jammin Java was good to see the full band plus keys.
tonight just Scott and Mike. I had second thoughts about going, but I’ve never been to the grog and tankard so I figure it’s easier to go some place alone when you know you will at least know one or two people who will talk to you for a little while at least.
my nights of insomnia have been getting to me. when I do sleep, I have recurring dreams that are mildly disturbing.
a beautiful full moon is shining tonight in a crystal clear sky full of a million stars…
I drove a longer way home to enjoy the night air a while more.
back home in jersey, I used to take long drives on nights like this, just listening to music and thinking.
I don’t really feel at home here, so I’ll probably lie awake again tonight thinking.
I’ve been awake for over 2 hours. it’s insane.
despite the yawning and the fact that it is Monday morning 5:36am I am wide awake.
A little bit of home visited me here in DC tonight. My great friends, The Bigger Lovers played an amazing set at DC 9 tonight and it felt so good to have some Philly love. I am really beginning to realize what I left behind in Atlantic City and Philly.
also, I got a nice letter from Michael from Hello from Waveland, a Seattle band I got to see at Galaxy Hut last year. I’m submitting their music to a production company who may use it for a new program they’re creating for Discovery Channel.
driving home from rockville to arlington usually sucks. they say the stretch of highway that I drive is the 7th worst gridlock in the country and that 19 million hours are wasted each year in this specific stretch. I like to think that all 19 million hours are MINE!
despite this, on a hot and humid day like today, when traffic breaks free enough for me to exit onto one of the smaller highways, the GW Parkway to be exact, and I can actually drive the speed limit, it’s really lovely to put the windows down, turn off the AC and just let the coolness of the trees enter through the car.
