I could ramble for days about the current contents of my mind, but there is simply no time. Here are glimpses without much substance. I hope to return to full emotional nudity in about two weeks.
• I am about two solid days from being finished with arranging and drill work for a while. I have never been more ready for some time away.
• My official unofficial relocation date will be August 11, 2007.
• I am concerned and confused about Ron Mexico's current debacle. On one hand, it seems like we fail to learn from the situations that should have taught us about the dangers of presumed guilt. If you know what an indictment is, then you know that no guilt has been proven. On the other, I have to think that the NFL has pretty good reason to believe that something is up.
If he's guilty, I want him to spend the rest of his life in a cage. If not, I want him to learn how to throw and how to keep his middle finger retracted as he leaves the field of play.
• After a couple of days in Athens starting on Wednesday, the activities on tap include two band camps and one wedding. As much as I don't miss having to live it every day, I do miss teaching very much. M and I spent a bit of time talking about that this weekend, and it began to occur to me how much of who I once was sits almost completely dormant for all but 1.5 weeks per year. I'm not sure that's how that's supposed to be.
• I am thinking that a post-rush trip to Ikea is in my future. Desk.
• I am also beginning to think that I may be a better cook than I have given myself credit for being.
• I lost near my entire music catalog to the jackasses that robbed me. The bad news is that I have to pay to replenish it. The good news is that I can replenish it however I choose. I am open to suggestions of individual tunes, full albums, or entire genres that may not necessarily have been on my "most played" playlist. Among the list of things of which I didn't have enough the first time are Beethoven piano works, Delbert McClinton, Pink Floyd, Nanci Griffith, Radiohead, Steve Reich and company, latin jazz, and Stephen Sondheim. You know what to do.
• Life remains incredibly good. So much to tell you, so much work to do, and miles to go before... whatever.

Song suggestion #1: The slow, acoustic version of "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi. AMAZING. I found it accidentally, searching for the more well-known version. Scoff not-- this is for real.
Song suggestion #2: "Two Feet of Topsoil" by Brad Paisley. Also may be known as "And Then There's Me". Hilarious song, and it describes a situation in which we have all found ourselves at one time or another.
Sondheim???? SONDHEIM?!?!?!?! Apparently, you DO "Feel that way."
