On the other side of a terrible sunburn I’m going to say, “all things in moderation”; carbs, alcohol and SUN. Woowee thank you for every sunny day we’ve had and also for the rain (props to the farmers and grass cutters). Summer found us and I’m just hoping it lasts into September like last year, minus the hurricane thank you very much.

Transition…always and forever will the world be changing. I’ve uprooted to a new pad myself and both embracing and lamenting the move. I’m feeling that some sense of portability is a good thing, though a place to call home is for balance.

September will kick off and end in Boston with some stuff in the inards. It was one year ago I went there to play for the first time! Check out the sched…www.clubpassim.org

A friend shared one of those power point presentation attachment forwarded email thingy’s with me last week about choices and that we have the choice of how to look at any situation. We choose our attitude. I like that. Being able to choose how to approach a day and how to present myself to the world. It’s very empowering…and comforting to know that even when I choose to have sad days they are very purposeful.

There’s a compilation album I’m on entitled “Don’t Mind Me” which is in support of The Carey Risman Memorial Fund for a Better Understanding Of Mental Illness and compiled by Shael Risman of RISMIX LIVE- Totally Folked-Up Radio (www.rismixlive.com featured on Live 365). There are some great artists on this disc including : Joel Plaskett, Brooke Miller, Amy Campbell & Edie Carey, which makes for a great mixer – check it out!

In my player: Meg Hutchinson’s The Crossing & Ruth Minnikin’s Marooned and Blue
