Sunny Friday
The Sun is out after a couple of days of clouds. Thanksgiving was great yesterday. Today Grace & I go food shopping at a Korean supermarket called Hmart. I really liked it. Dumplings for dinner.

Today I don't work but it feels so busy for me. There are the family things to do and 6 inches of snow is on the ground which means I'll be cleaning that up. Crazy stuffing for me in my head.

Monday Night Sonnet
Last night I was at McGeary's in Albany where I read a sonnet I wrote back in 2004. It went over really well. The poetry reading was
in the back room of the bar where it always is. The other part of the bar had Buffalo Bills fans who were watching the football game on TV. There was plenty of activity to go around.

Sunday Clouds
I'm in West New York and it's cold & cloudy outside. Saw one of the big cruise ships leaving Manhattan and heading out into the Atlantic Ocean. Just like a floating hotel.

Did It Again
Ran through my rock opera THE FRONT DESK this morning. So much for putting that piece of music away.

Nick & I practiced the entire rock opera THE FRONT DESK yesterday. Just when I tried to put that music to bed, it stays awake.

Sunday Moves
Here are the things I want to do
I have them in my mind
There are things I have to do
In order to survive
Play it real close
So far away
At least it's the most
On a Fall Sunday
I have them in my mind

Nothing Special
I have no room to talk about anyone else in a negative way. I have plenty of my own failures.
New Musical Change
It seems the days of me just running though my rock opera THE FRONT DESK are over. Now I can take individual songs from that piece and fit them into a set with my other compositions. Watch, now I'll play the whole damn thing again.
