2010

"Take it easy, but take it."
Pete Seeger
Don't know what that means, the take it easy part, but will try to figure it out along the way.  Wanna get stronger, and better in 2010 despite fighting the clock.  Look to Pete and his ornery, nasty optimism for inspiration.  Work hard and don't fuck up or hurt yourself.  Don't whine.  Don't use I and me so much.  Be amused, often.

Wednesday, six miles and a great yoga class.
Thursday, ct session.  Fun.  Tangible things to work on; feels good laying on that wooden floor and glad to have met her and her oddness.
Thursday night, Brigid off to friends, Ian off with his mother, alone with Barry.  Have Townes' "Loretta" stuck in the head and spent time combing You Tube for various versions.
Townes was a poet down to the depths of his soul and is to be treasured.  On October 2, 2009 was nearly ballin' like a baby listening to Lyle Lovett and John Prine sing that tune, arms wrapped around Barry in the park, him settling back.  None of the resistance of the younger two, though he might be better for it.  One of the highlights of the year.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0z--R0ErV8.  And for good measure.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D35zZkxA9PQ&feature=related

Today, Burdell hike with Ian and Rose, but he won't get in the frame.  Oaks and California Laurel in the rain.  Gorgeous.  Find Neko Cases' cover of Nervous Eater's "Loretta" on Itunes.  Smokes; I'll take that one too.

Later, move wood piles around while Rose supervises, make chili with Brigid, she gives me a foot massage and watch LOTR, Fellowship.  Looks a lot like Burdell.
Good start.
