We've got pockets of persistent poverty in our society, which I refuse to declare defeat--I mean, I refuse to allow them to continue on. And so one of the things that we're trying to do is to encourage a faith-based initiative to spread its wings all across America, to be able to capture this great compassionate spirit. spent most of yesterday sleeping. the cold is finally starting to go away after calling in sick & spending the day sleeping, drinking juice & taking DayQuil. trying to learn to take it easy when i don�t feel good & just let myself get better. seems to be working� managed to avoid getting any worse & i can feel myself starting to get better. another night of taking it easy & i should be back on track. laying low at work today. everyone in my area at work is out, so i can move at a slower pace & no one will give me crap about it. just doing what i can to stay below everyone�s radar & try not to do too much today. there are days i like my job & today is one of them. not being very sociable lately. feels like i�m having difficulty interacting with the rest of the herd. don�t know if it is because i�ve been sick or because of all the traveling or if the stars are just out of whack, but i�m just feeling a bit people-shy this week. not feeling any great urge to get out of the house & even talking on the phone has been a bit rough. going out tomorrow & i may just force myself to go interact with the rest of the world for a few hours. i can get into ruts & i would like to avoid having this become a rut i get stuck in. i guess some weeks are just like this. on the flip side of things, mike mcgee is in town this weekend & i�m looking forward to having him around. had a great time hanging with him at the iWPS & i�m looking forward to getting to hear a whole set of his work. also looking forward to the urbana feature next week. hoping to put together a tight set that they will like. tony has me hooked on structuring every feature around a theme & i think i�m going do something around the idea of language & the spirit. have to see what comes together. i�m rambling & i should get a few more things done before i leave today. hope you all have a good evening. be well. |
