The Banzai Chronicles

Delicious dinner at Buca di Beppo with expressedinword, taci, Dawn, John, and Nate. Ate just a bit more than too much, laughed a lot, and didn't lose my capacity to be engaged until close to the end of our time (when the exchange of movie lines went too far and too fast for me to keep up). Sometimes my thoughts and presence drifted, but that seemed common and acceptable around the table.

Wasn't the most focused day at the office, but productive here and there, particularly on a couple of B-Side Records matters. My "Minty Fresh" 12-inch United State of Electronica EP reached my desk today, a circular vinyl icon of love, happiness, and music. When the "Jolly Rancher" edition arrives, then all the more!

My friend Mikal linked to more of my writing in his blog. It only now occurs to me that he's an Acquisitions Editor for a major publisher. Maybe there's a future in this?

A little peace snuck up on me, too. Nothing that changes the world, but enough to make the air a little sweeter and easier to breathe.
