I was at my favorite bagel place today (Blue Sky of course) on my way to a rehearsal with the beautiful Josh Olswanger, and some things hit me pretty hard.
I am so very fortunate to have music be such a part of my life. Its my job, its what I spend most of my time doing, and it's been the thing to give me the most blessings in my life.
And the craziest part to me is that I haven't gotten completely sick of it yet. Knowing myself (the little bit that I do) I would think that I would have moved on from music like the many other things in many other aspects of life that I have.
This upcoming project Interstate is starting has me really excited. We made the schedule and signed the contracts, and we are getting closer to making the music we want to. Just focusing on creativity, and letting our songs breathe.
I just want to put down in words somewhere how thankful I am to feel like I may have a future in the business of music. I plan on taking full advantage of the worth while opportunities that life throws at me, and I hope some of you out there can enjoy it.
Happy Holidays!

Christmas Time Is Here
The Santa at the Boise Towne Square is not only one of the most convincing looking St. Nick's I've ever seen, he's also got a great sense of humor.
Maybe he's not a fake?
Happy Holidays!

Anxiety
Here's another weird feeling I reflected on the other day (yesterday to be exact).
I decided to go to the grocery store down the street from where a good family friend lives that was kindly putting us, (Brianne and I) up for the weekend because we were playing at the lovely Flatbread community oven in Bend Oregon.
So I knew I wanted to get some wine for her, and a pack of AA batteries. Not too complicated right? But no matter how sure of what I need when I walk in to a grocery store, I get this tiny anxiety attack when I enter the doors. Like i don't know where anything is and I can't remember my own name or what wine really is. Is wine next to the kids grape juice? or in the produce section? Is there another type of AA battery? Should I consult the company that makes the product that the batteries are going in before buying? Is there a warranty?
So I take a breath and review what I'm there for. And its all good. But still a weird re-occurrence
I'll post pictures from the trip later tonight!
