The sensation or perception of such energy as warmth or hotness. So it’s the second day of 95+ degree weather here on the Gold Coast.  I guess I could say that it’s a dry heat, but I wouldn’t know, since I’ve spent the entire past 24 hour period huddled up against various air conditioners.  I can safely say, though, that it’s not pleasant between the house and the car, and the car and the place of business. 

 Intensity, as of passion, emotion, color, appearance, or effect.  Saturday night’s show definitely fits this description.  We were loud and perhaps a little sloppy, but the jams went on for a long time, the hippies danced, and a good time was had by all.  Especially by me, quite frankly–it was the most fun I’ve ever had playing music.  Something about the combination of the tiny stage, the friendly crowd, and the freedom to improvise really worked.  I’d gotten enough sleep, I was in a good mood, and everything was clicking for everyone.  Just plain awesome.
