My gums will rest easy tonight thanks to a new pink toothbrush. Aaah… Back to civilization!

I just started reading Marathon Man -> Don’t tell me how it ends! What a strange collection of stories told by Mr. Goldman: The Princess Bride, Heat, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, etc. It’s inspiring to me as an artist that he can tackle so many settings and so many characters. He doesn’t write for lawyers OR spies OR elves OR robots…

Un/Fortunately I really gobble these kinds of books, and maybe that’s exactly what I need when away from home: quick distractions, no challenge. But please, can someone suggest something with substance for when I get home?

Tonight I saw some old friends and recognized them immediately. The human mind really is an amazing thing. Or perhaps, as humans, we ambitiously expect that change occurs daily, that we come so far in 10 years that surely our superficial countenances would display the product of our growth, that we can bury ourselves in the sand of the hourglass…

As a woman approaching 30 I should appreciate more my ability to seemlessly juxtapose with the teenage version of myself. It’s bittersweet. I’ll be upsest next time they DON’T card me. At least the new me embraces such contradictions…

Thanks to Travis and Mike and Jeff at the Muddy Waters Café. What a comfy place! And man oh man, did I enjoy my Panini! I’m looking forward to heading back there for another evening of music tomorrow… (and another selection off their yummy menu!)
