treading water

now playing: bob seger, "hollywood nights"



still no internet at the new house...thus the silence over the weekend.


i made good this weekend on a long standing intention to take the kids to philadelphia to see the fireworks there over the fourth of july weekend, instead of sticking around town and taking in whatevers' going on here...i've been meaning to do it for a long time, and since the flagship fireworks display here in town doesn't take place until next weekend, it was the perfect year to go.

i called my buddy mitch and told him we were coming down, and he met us at the metro station at city hall, and we walked to Love Park to take it in...it's a great spot to watch them from, as you're not right underneath the display, and the vantage point looking down benjamin franklin parkway towards the art museum was definitely the best view in the city. it was a nice departure from cardboard boxes and bubblewrap and trying to find things that i knew i packed but couldn't locate...

we loaded yet another truck full of accumulated posessions on saturday...the contents of the studio and a sizeable chunk of the basement...but yet there's still more stuff to be moved there, and much cleaning to do before the final walkthrough. that's one of two huge preoccupations of mine at the moment...getting the old house cleaned out - and being able to drive my van without tension building in every muscle in my body.


there's an off chance that i may actually get out of the building today at a decent hour - i have to drop some stuff off with jayda out at kutztown, and then i'm going to head home and get as caught up as i can on my "to do" list there.


it's not short, by anyone's estimate.
