The Front Desk 2013

I practiced my entire rock opera THE FRONT DESK this morning. I just felt like playing the whole thing. It really stands up for me and I'm very proud of it. The songs flow from one into the other. I'm in the process of writing new material. It will be a different approach I'm sure and will most likely be a reaction to what I did before. Keep creating.

February Gone

The last day of February. It might be the shortest month of the year but it always feels like the longest to me. The Winter Blues takes it's toll and now I look forward to March. Spring ahead to the future.

28 Days

This month of February has been one of the craziest times I've ever dealt with. I knew it had potential to be that way. The upcoming month of March might just give this February a run for it's money. I'll deal with that in a couple of days. For now, it's getting through the 28 days of February 2013.

Creative Tuesday

Today will be all about music & artwork. There are songs to write and pictures to draw. I need finished products.

No Post

I didn't write anything on the blog yesterday. Really didn't have anything to share. So this is the last week in February. I always look forward to the month of March. Spring is on it's way and St. Paddy's Day is my unofficial end to Winter. It's cold out this morning but the sun is out and it will be above freezing today. I was thinking about going to New York City today. I might go tomorrow. I have plenty of things to do where I am right now.

Writer's Block

I'm not really sure if it's writer's block of if it's just laziness. I am moving at the end of March and I can't wait to do so. I'm getting away from here. It's time to go.

9 Miles

I did manage to get out there and run 9 miles today. If I go out and run after work tomorrow I'll get 30 miles in for the week. That would be good since I was sick the week before. Time to play my bass. I had some new songs in mind when I was running. Let's see if they turn into songs.

Not Sure

I go into work this morning. Plenty of things are happening professionally. I'm not sure what direction I'll be going in. I do have the feeling that the move for next month is still on. I need to leave where I am. Staying around here just doesn't feel healthy. More of a mental thing than it is physical. It's not supposed to be easy and it won't be. I hope to do what is right for me.

Early Work

I showed up to work at 5:30 AM this morning. I'll be leaving at 1:30 PM this afternoon. It is sunny & cold outside. I work early again tomorrow. I'll have to get these kinds of hours for my next job.

Running Start

After no running for over 2 weeks, I finally put 1 foot in front of the other and did 7 miles. It was slow going but I knew it would be. I really want to do a Winter training program that will prepare me for the spring. I feel in good shape and this year more than ever it will be about speed & endurance. I'm thinking my first race will be in April. This will give me time to get ready.

At Work

I usually don't post a blog at work but I feel like doing it right now. Things are steady with the usual suspects staying at the hotel. I'm off tomorrow so it is my hope to go out and run. It would be the first time I've done that in 2 weeks. With my trip and then the flu it kept me out of my running shoes. I might just run a few miles.

Have To Go

6 weeks from today I will be living somewhere else. I will have a new home and a new job. This is pretty routine for me. My live is a series of changes. Nothing is ever permanent. It's time to go again.

Frozen Monday

Feels like I'm finally getting over this latest bout of the flu. It's been a week now. It was my plan to go out and start running today, but the weather is near zero degrees with the wind chill. I think it would be best to stick with weights & stretching today.

Day Off

After getting back from my trip to Amsterdam on Tuesday, I've been working every single day. Today is the first day off since my return and I need to rest. That's what I'm doing right now. I hope to start in on my running routine on Monday. I need to kick this cold I have. Time to play my bass and draw some pictures.

Sick Again

This is the 3rd time this season I have a head cold. I felt it a few days ago. It has been absolutely brutal with the flu season.. My body is aching and I have to work tonight. I'm off tomorrow so I'll rest up then

Back Again

This is the first post on my blog on almost 2 weeks. I wasn't near a computer the entire time I was away in Amsterdam. That would come back to haunt me. So much happened during the week. I'm still getting back to my usual routine like putting things down here. Back again to the blog.

Getting Ready

Putting together everything I need for my trip to Amsterdam. I will be staying at a hotel near JFK Airport tomorrow and then flying out on Monday. I'll be in Amsterdam Tuesday. This might be my last post on the blog for several days. I'm not going to bring any computer items with me. If I'm near a business center where I can read Emails and put thought or two down then I will. Tot Ziens!

A New Month

February is here and I'm ready for it. I plan on running 7 miles this morning and then I'll work tonight at the hotel. In the meantime, I'm packing for my trip to Amsterdam. I'll have to go out and shop for things tomorrow. I have Saturday off from work. It's clear & cold outside for the first day of February.
