Always forward

I completed the writing, editing and proofreading of our trip to Memphis; I completed my live concert reviews.  All have now been submitted and the decks are cleared for the next round - record reviews, interviews, movies.  The path lies straight ahead and it looks good.

The next item to address is recording - not just resuming the mapping out of the album (and it should be noted that "The Next Sometime Soon" is going to be a double album; there's no way getting around it) but recording theme and incidental music for two new podcast series.  I feel a creative rebirth that's been slowly building up and now it's finally getting to where it should go/be.  I don't feel overwhelmed by any of it; I savor it all and try to take as much pleasure as I can while keeping in mind that there is a job to do be done and to do it right.

There is also a matter of keeping the house in order; I have now one year left in Staten Island; I signed my final lease extension, so there is a conclusive end point.  And I am ready to get back to the workouts that helped me get through the rough period - it's now a case of simply doing it again - regularly, focused - because I enjoy it and it benefits me and improves my life on every level.  Spiritually, physically, mentally.

And I couldn't ask for better.
