the wind has been making my windows clatter. its been a very windy/stormy day or so here - - with tree branches and unbattened down trash can contents strewn on the streets. I setup a new desk area in the bay window in my bedroom. using a coffee table and a pillow - I'll need to go shopping for a short ottoman or simple box chair for the location. its comfortable and puts me in great light during the day. Kateydog is snoring behind me on the bed. She had a rumblytummy this morning - so we did several walkies to let her sort that out, the poor thing. but she seems all better now.

I had a reckless night's sleep - having all sorts of dreams I can't recall - several resulting in my slingshotting awake suddenly. I hate those kinds of dreams. So i got up gently this morning, brewed some kona and took a long bath.

Had breakfast with my pal Jeffery this morning - we talked about all sorts of things - he's selling one of his houses and plotting redesigns at the house where he lives, and we're both anxious for Duboce Park to reopen on March 8th.

Tom is coming over this afternoon - I'm eager to see him again. He's such a soft, gentle person. He's going to bring over a board game - I'm going to make us dinner. He really is something special.

Since my return from New Orleans I've felt disconnected and not "in tune" here. I'm not sure what that is about. I talked about it with my Mom and she put it up to time zone changes. The change between here and New Orleans is hardly intense (2 hours). I came back to probably my most busy week ever professionally with two concerts to produce, changing printers, ordering new stocks, the continuing refreshing-ing^tm of the logo for KOIT, the Classical Star Search coming up for KDFC, etc. I loved spending yesterday cleaning around the house and having a quiet dinner at the Alamo.

but I still feel disconnected. I wish there was a way to feel settled. You'd think after a year and a half in this city I'd feel settled.

there is always tomorrow......
