Tuesday's 'Supersculpt' class KICKED MY ASS! It included one rep of excercises - quick lunges off a three-high step platform with 10 pound weights in each hand. Yesterday I was really very sore - and I thought - perhaps a nice long walk last night with Miss Kate would let me legs know I cared; by not jumping back into the gym last night. I was sooooo wrong. I got up this morning and nearly fell when I put weight on my legs. They are very upset with me. Particularly my inner thighs are very tight - and very sore this morning. I'm walking - but slowly. I overdid it - just a bit methinks.
The fog gave way this morning to an absolutely amazing day outside today - I'm going to go find lunch outside somewhere. Maybe my favorite spot - the Yurba Buena Park. What's cool about it? Sitting up on the patio - you can see several different decades of architecture and it's raised garden and waterfall is very peaceful.
My mom recently returned from her spring trip (Croatia, Turkey, and Egypt) - and we've been trading real solid dialogue on several issues including Obama choosing the next supreme court justice and civil unions vs. gay marriage. I have never experience a time in my life where I felt closer to my Mom - even as a child. My perspective of my childhood was that my parents were eager to get us out of the house so they could travel. So it is very rewarding to get to a place where she and I really look forward to our discussions.

Worked late last night on the new writing - I'm on such a roll! - restructuring existing writing in chapter 2 - and working in the indian legend behind Tahquitz Canyon in Palm Springs. (without repeating House of Wolves style themes or useage) I also rough outlined chapters 3 and 4 in greater detail than the 30,000 foot view. I'm using several charts and organizational tools this go-round to avoid some of the giant sized continuity rewrites I had in the first novel. So it feels like a more organized, albeit still creative, writing process. and yes I know - that having a cover idea before the rough draft is finished makes no sense somehow - but it helps me visualize and work towards that finished product. I'm very visually oriented.
Last night - I went back through my blog to recover some photos I lost when my external hard drive went missing last winter. It was lovely to go back through and remember special moments - and I went back as far as a few months before I met Dave. I loved reliving our first year of adventures and sugary romance. I am more in love with my boyfriend every day.
KDFC is presenting our 2nd Annual "KDFC CLASSICAL STAR SEARCH FINALS EVENT" Monday at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. The contest began back in March when we received several hundred two-minute audition videos - we named 20 semifinalists - which listeners helped us narrow down to the eight finalists who will perform Monday night. If you are in San Francisco, the show is at 8pm. Tickets for purchase here. If you are not in San Francisco - it's worth checking out the videos of the eight finalists including five of the most talented youth musicians I've ever encountered. Monday's program should be something else.
