Simple things

Triumphant--for the first time since Liz and I have been married, we didn't pay over a thousand dollars in taxes (being married with no children nor house); it was minimal, it was painless and I've already mailed out the checks to the I.R.S. Done and relieved. Celebrated with a stop at Starbucks; ordered in and chilled out for the rest of the afternoon--will take care of the laundry tonight. Didn't bother recording; did play for a while, just to get the reflexes in motion.

A blue-skied morning; spent a good portion of it revisiting my iTunes library here (at the office). Needed to be edited--too much extraneous rock music bullshit, not enough grooves. I may walk back to the ferry tonight, just to enjoy the warmth and fresh air. Not the kind of day one wants to be cooped up in the office (although the springlike comfort makes it a pleasure being in Soho).

A lot of work ahead; a busy week to look forward to--gym tomorrow and Thursday; coffee with friends Friday, groceries early Saturday and rehearse Saturday evening. Plus, throw in whatever seems to come up on those evenings off (like Brother Rolo's invite to a wine-tasting at a local bar. Sounds good). Nice to be in full swing again and feeling healthy.

Back to freshening up the iPod.
