energy

I need to travel.  My plan is to set off for Boston via airplane and spend a couple weeks between there and New York, visiting my sister and her husband who will hopefully show me the ropes.  A quick trip into Alberta should let me visit my multi-lingual buddy Eric Ep, and then I'll take a plane (from somewhere) to Ireland.  I'm going to travel from here through Scotland and then backpack across Norway, visiting relatives.  From Norway I should be able to hit up Sweden and see my friend Patch Hof, if he's still living there.  I haven't gone much further with this fantasy yet, but I'd like to experience places that I've read about.  I believe that traveling will make me smarter.

I've been reading about Bucky Fuller lately; I was introduced conceptually through one or two of Robert Wilson's books, probably the Cosmic Trigger series.  I've just purchased a copy of his dymaxion world map.  It should be fun to study when I plot my future travels around the world.  I've picked up a copy of his book Critical Path, too: this should prove educational.

I woke up this morning with tremendous energy, I have to roll sushi at three, I need to do some tai-chi, kung-fu, and some drumming before then.  I have a music lesson with Bill Allison this tuesday, we're going to work on my reading.  I've been listening to Derek Sherinian's discography all day, fitting thematic music for my mind state.
