three things

1.  after being on tour and taking in little more than a steady diet of cheap tortilla chips and tostidos brand salsa provided by cheap promoters who have a very limited and weak understanding of what a proper vegan meal consists of, what used to be a simple late night snack has now turned into a somewhat maudlin recollection of the glory days.  

2.  walking down the street in the rain this morning, i closed my eyes and transported myself in true tralfamadorian fashion back to june of 2006.  i opened them back up and i was standing at the top of the hill in a small town in france, waiting with my father before the sunrise for the bus to pick us up, to start on yet another journey through the countryside.  everything was so silent and still that the mist in the air just seemed to hang, as if suspended in time.

3.  enjoy your worries; you may never have them again.
