I flexed a few muscles this week to stop the atrophying of brain cells and to pacify this whole and complete musical spirit that is getting hungry and grumpy.  Piano extemporaneous playing fuels compassion.  Since we were torn in our journey / move, as it moved through time and created a climax of energy and dust bunnies, I mostly listened to the [...]

…I sense a tinge of panic as my desperate transposition to a new place comes to a close, and I look beyond to writing again.  Turning on the piano this evening, I explored a few potential openings for the cello work including some meandering in the post introduction or exposition.  Where this is going is [...]

Busy.  Busy.  Busy.  Moving crap.  Open a pile and more pours out.  Yesterday, missed the post completely – totally not cool since I post daily regardless of how lousy time is.  Think that was the first time in 2-3 years.   As we reach the end of the month, more intense [...]

Hedging away at the apartment move, and slipping to the gym preoccupied most of my time this morning and afternoon.  Fooled around with some video editing junk.  Last evening, tried out the camcorder on the table tennis routine, and found a few adjustments I can make to my strokes.  Now editing down a video for [...]
