It's nice and cool for an August morning in Texas.

After slumping over my ibook in a pool of drool around 3:30 am, I
lurched into my dimly lit room, peered at Collin and his new boxer asleep
on the couch...and shlernked into our king size, where Kim had only
recently crashed.

At 8:00 am, I popped up for no good reason, drank a big swig of green
tea, grabbed Weston's ipod, set the dial to "Sunny Day - How it feels to
be something on" and headed out for a brisk walk around the historic
district. (very stimulating...I need to do this more.)

Once home, I snatched my ibook and bag of honey roasted sunflower
seeds (that my wonderul wife bought me) and set up shop on the back
deck. The only thing that's missing now is coffee and music... but perhaps
those are vices, ehh? Instead, I hear birds through the fluttery leaves...
I'm surrounded by this canopy of green...to my left, the cadmium
hybiscus bloom is celebrating dozens of new buds in the wake of
continuous East Texas rain.

Wait, I just got a pm. ahh, it's a guy from the UK; very cool... He's a new
fan and is stoked to be talking with me. That's funny but very nice...(it
seems surreal to be outside chatting with an eisley fan from the other
side of the world...) Anyway.... thanks Ollie.

So anyway, I've been wanting this morning to happen ever since
leaving my full time partnership in a design firm to work with the band
but have always been too busy or felt too guilty for such
behavior.

Why do we not make the time for the things that are so within reach?
Why do we allow oppressions like guilt and denial and fear keep us from
doing the things we say we value?

Now my bride of 24 years is awake... time to drag her into this little
microcosm of mine. And make some good Costa Rican brew.

Boyd

p.s. this is my xanga.

Shocked I could live off of Sunflower seeds. But never in my life have I seen/heard of honey roasted sunflower seeds. The ones I get are "dry roasted." Where might I find some of them?

infinite eprops x 2.

Xanga is a free online blog type of thing.

My Xanga.

But we can't seem to suck Boyd into the Xanga cult... Laughing

there are a lot of people on this board that are on there... i guess that's why it's so "special." i like it because it's very customizable, and easy to use. and... i've been on there for like, 2½ years. so that helps.
