Tonight's the night

If I am not here tomorrow, it is because David Byrne lifted me into the heaven constructed by Brian Eno.  

Intermission

El Capitan is onto Greece here's an excerpt of what he's up to 

My days are filled.. keeping me busy. I needed this. I'm trying to make this a monastic-like experience for me. Instead of wearing brown robes, worshipping, and vows of silence.. I am working hard for a job that's pure and I'm trying to better myself. I wake up at 6:45am, do 20 minutes of yoga that is hopefully helping my back (I've got problems with it). I then walk the gauntlet of house dogs (about 13 of wildly varying kinds) to the main house. I make some coffee, make a lunch for later on, and grab an apple. Then I jump in the junker of a car called a niva. I love it. I drive all the unmarked Grecian streets to the kiwi farm/dog shelter. The shelter is all outdoor fencing. I check on all the dogs. Food and water. Then I muck (pick up shit). I've got several new cuts and scrapes by the time I get out of there. I head up to the kiwi farm and do a specific chore that day. Weeding, trimming, securing of the trees, or maintenance on the watering system. Stuff like that. Then I pick all the new cherry tomatoes that we'll use in the salad at night. Eat lunch. Then I go do some construction. Like heightening the fence for one of the dog areas so that new ones can't jump over. Somedays I'll drive around the island putting up flyers for the shelter. Then I'll go home and immediately go down to the beach. Clearest blue water. dive in and try to swim to another smaller island not far out. So far, I can get about half way.. but I've been lengthening it everyday. Then I climb the side of a narrow cliff to get to a hotel that has a piano I can practice on. After that, I go home and take care of any chores I need to do.. take a nap maybe, then get woken up for dinner with everyone. We sit outside in a courtyard and have a nice hearty meal. Then its late and I have to get up early so I go to sleep. That's about it so far.

I have been stateside re-visiting friends, and extracating the idea from my brain that I finally see settling down as the next great adventure.  That and I am a bit tired.  Yeah, not working for 9 months and I am tired...

But here is what i've been up to:
