The first falling leaves from one tree in my 'hood are a gathering on the porch. Some cool nights, good for reflection and much needed deepness of sleep.

Discovered the ease of shopping for victuals at the Wednesday Farmers Market on MLK Jr. Blvd. It has everything I like, without the crowds. The Saturday Farmers Market on the capitol square is OK if you can get there super early.

Passed on a job offer from pals this week. It was kind of them to send this my way, but it was not a place I want to work or a job I want to do. And the commute would suck. Anything that makes me have to drive any distance, especially with winter coming on seems precarious.

2 weeks without a working TV, and it's really not so bad. Reading on the porch and getting through some household tasks.

Getting there.

Pal Gregory and I are making with the electro-acoustic duo coming up on Friday 9/26 at Mother Fools.
This day is also my birthday. Task for today, on this re-re-built computer, is to make a poster and some flyers, so this rare gig is not a secret from those who may want to be there.

Tonight is going to be the end of 8 days straight of work. Short shifts for the most part, but a day of nothing scheduled will be nice.

Monday will be a drumming night with Sam and Patrick. Man o man am I looking forward to that! They are good pals and we have a strong connection moving air together. And I need to drum sooo bad. Feel like I'm on a fast or something..
