Egads!
It's already Christmas! Sheesh, I'm still on Italian time, people...
We had a great trip overseas, a whirlwind really. We ended up having more gigs than originally planned, which was good for us professionally, but left little time for R & R. The plus side though, is that we had great crowds every night and sold many a cds, so I cannot complain. My Italian is getting better, I can understand pretty well and have the basic stuff down. My biggie is verbs and conjugating, so I bought a book for Christmas and will continue to ingest grammar the next few months until our next trip.
Next stop for me is New Orleans. I'll be back for an extended stay to help fix my mother's house, which is still not repaired from the storm. It was "repaired" 3 times already, to no avail (it's dastardly with these "contractors"). So, I plan on staying untl it's done and done right. But don't feel bad, becasue I actually miss being down there and look forward to playing some shows on the side and getting back into the thick of things. It will be Mardi Gras soon and there's plenty of social activities to be had in between the headaches. This time of year, it's nicer to be as far south as possible (hello Key West!), and NOLA has always had an earlier spring, which helps. It's raining in Memphis and cold. I'm over it.
