what's up? what's up!

Hannah and I hit up Sacramento, San Francisco, and San Jose last weekend.  Good trip, saw family and brought back a couple surfboards! Now I just have to buy a wetsuit and actually learn how to surf...

Been hittin' the drums real hard lately, working on my chops and trying to fix my hand up; working out like crazy too, especially after I survived an hour with Paul and realized how out of shape I was.  Probably all the smoking isn't helping, but it does feel nice.  Tickets for Boston and Florida are bought and paid for now, I can't wait! I'm spending Halloween in Salem this year, should be a party!  I hope the trip blows my mind like I want it too.  Been going through Paul Stammets' Mycelium Running.  It's a good book but low on the entertainment value so far.  I finally slogged my way through Bucky Fuller a few weeks back and it felt amazing to finish that book.  The implications of what I've read are still making my head spin.

Still doing work on the house, took some pictures today, worked out and stretched out, hit up the community forest on my bike and went for a two hour hike through the woods.  I can't wait til' it rains again and I can go mushroom hunting.  I've got a couple good guide books now just for fun.  Saturday I'm seeing Beats Antique at the ATL with a bunch of friends.  Honestly I'm going more to see them than Beats, but it should be fun.

Been busy busy busy, that's about it.  My yanagi should be coming back to me soonish, I can't wait to see how well it works when its not all bent and useless.  That should make my work life easier, and more fun.  It's easier to see Sushi as a hobbey the better I get at it.  Making people's jaws drop over a few pieces of fish is wonderful.

All in all life is still amazing, getting better all the time.  I can still only do four handstand push-ups, but I'm getting better at that too.

Everything always changes.  Everything always gets better, too.  Today I woke up early enough to bike to Paul's and arrived only a few minutes late.  I did the gung fu, and some tai ji too.  It was hard.

I had a prophetic dream of sorts the other day, it involved Paul, and then he visited me that afternoon.  It was the first time I'd seen him in over half a year.  He ordered chef's choice, as usual.

I'm more neurotic than usual today.
