...the days seem to be flying by... and yet I am trying to fully enjoy each and every one.

My sleep schedule is wonky... and I find myself awake at rather odd times... and yet... it seems to be working out alright. Allergies rearing their ugly head... and so... finding myself more awake at night... when they seem more relaxed. Working in the studio... listening to music... watching old episodes of CSI...

Lazy... yes... and yet... productive as well.

And so... I break open the wine... fix a good dinner... and contemplate the fact that I am getting another year older... perhaps wiser... certainly more --- open. Eased-into. Like a pair of old jeans... canvas Converse... and flannel shirt.... which seems to be my "uniform" as of late.

No pretensions... no expectations.

And yes, stuff happens.

Life is not perfect.

Bills come due... money can be tight.

Relationships can be.... trying, shall we say... at times.

Stress, life, the news... comes knocking on everyone's door.... like an unwanted solicitor from that church ...

and we deal.

We are strong.
Have a good weekend guys!
