Come and Gone

The Ides of March have come and gone
The march of Tides slow and strong
the face of love
is in your eye
the face of love
and then we die
some go sooner - others much later
most go eventually - a few stay forever
the dark knight returns
in full moon glory
the poet awakens and tells his story.

Video Blogging v Webinars v Conference Calls

We have begun to video tape instructors giving us their best "teaching moments."
Trying to encapsolate those "ah ha" moments that happen mysteriously after 45 minutes of droning from the front of the class. What connects to the student(s). Which aside turns on the light of realization? Which puzzle piece completes the jigsaw of knowledge?

Tonight music resumes after a short hiatus. Chris and Allison, second child well on the way, have sold Shaiwassee Chateau and moved to Ann Arbor. Will his new space be as well suited for crowded parties and acute jam sessions? Katherine has moved in with Sam and she is another year older (still a dozen years younger than the rest of us.)

Someone else grows older today. Next month is Brian's turn to celebrate the astronomical progression which speeds him towards the final hour. Only music is timeless.

Had lunch with Jon Booth last week. lent him some recording equipment so he could adequately document the sound of his eldest offspring, hersuit bass player in the reknowned Lansing bar band "Endless Aisle" an obscure reference to Winn-Dixie's on-line branch of retail product.

Went house shopping with Cynthia this pst weekend, checking into housing projects in the far northwest quadrant of Metro detroit (Howell, Milford.) this world is not my home.

Finally freed and tuned my stringed instruments from their dark, silent cases. 5 songs remain in my memory:
djangology, minor swing, grrl i left behind, ylang ylang (original), ypsi hornpipe
Playing around with Acid (the music editor)
Time to bring sounds into the mix.
Samples and loops.

Now Get Busy!

Back to work.

this entails writing, surfing, video shooting, lurking, searching, tagging, typing, listening, capturing moments, meeting with peers, establishing guidelines, planning events, assisting teachers, focusing on the present, mining data from the past, keeping abreat of RFID and other technological revolutions denying us our most sacred and arcane rights and privledges.

Life snowballs into a cataclysm of deadlines, coincidences, happenstance and opportunities.
