Started reading Bill Bryson’s new book about Shakespeare, but stopped.  Not that it wasn’t any good, but my attention wandered a lot this weekend, and I just couldn’t give the attention it needed.  I adore Bryson and am a sucker for books about Shakespeare, but I’ll have to get it from the library and finish it another time.

Played a gig at the legendary Bitter End in New York.   Was surprised, at same gig, by a couple of former students.  I hadn’t seen them since they were in 8th grade.  They’re seniors in high school now.  Do the math.  Anyway, big shout to Justin and Calvin for making the trek and giving me the shock of my recent life.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over my dislike of hospitals and other institutional spaces.  Especially when people I care about are in them.  That is all.

New hobby: basement rehearsal space construction projects.  Last Sunday, Pete and I spent the evening hanging the PA speakers from the rafters.  Today, we bought about $200 worth of wood and built a false floor to keep the water from ruining everything.

Still not sure how I feel about Twitter.
