Cough, sweep, mop, pack, sleep, repeat

Deep in the lungs live a kind of heavy gunk that grew this week while not getting enough sleep. I am trying to sleep this weekend, but there is so much to ready for before hopping on a plane for 3 weeks - tomorrow! The trip is shaping up nicely. A few more gigs have come up and one fell through. I Skyped this morning with my friends Todd and Carol in Exeter. We are all very excited to spend a few days together. Turns out that Todd's cousin, Hilary Tann is going to be staying at their home at the same time as I am. She is a Welsh-born accomplished concert composer living and teaching college in upstate NY. I have heard of her, but have not yet heard the music. I am looking forward to discussing academics, women in music, the article I serendipitously posted on Facebook yesterday. Todd and Carol have two young adult kids who play music. I think there will be a lot of music making this week out in the 'ole countryside of England! Talking with them after so many years is wonderful. I had seen Todd in Portland in November at the filming of a movie he was doing. Carol and I have Facebook corresponded, but seeing her today on the ole Skype so many years later was lovely. They were drinking beer. It was 10 in the morning over here and I hadn't even had my coffee yet. I lived with Todd and Carol in London back in the 80s. Time is a strange chameleon.
