I'll sleep through the rest of my days

Went to Luke Warm's show at Johnny D's last night and it was refreshing. The opening performer (never caught his name) was a great guitarist who played a different acoustic instrument every song. He reminded me quite a bit of John Fahey. Luke Warm played in support of his trumpeter friend Eric and it was a good set of In a Silent Way era improv. In addition to Eric and Luke Warm, there was a throat singer, an upright bassist, another guitarist, and some guy who looked like an aging D&D dungeon master who played a little bit of everything. I don't often listen to improv music, but this was so cohesive you would have thought it was well rehearsed. Now, as far as improv comedy goes.......BOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Had a strange dream last night that had me in combining work and a social activity. I was at my friend Michelle's cabin somewhere in the woods with about ten other people. And during my stay there, I'd somehow "beam" myself and whoever in the group wished to help, over to my job to manage my crew and get orders out. It was a little frustrating because I was tired and wanted to relax at the cabin. I finally got to do that later in the day. I crawled into bed with Michelle, snuggled up with her and a dog that was staying there and drifted off. Thanks, Michelle.

I have today off and I don't know what I'm going to do beyond taking a run and doing some yoga later on. I suppose I should get some groceries and I should look into getting some warmer running clothes. Last night, I thought I was going to freeze to death out there.

Before I headed out to the show last night, I watched the Celtics absolutely annihilate the Nuggets. It should have been a close game; the Nuggs are loaded with talent; Carmello Anthony, Allen Iverson, Marcus Camby, and Kenyon Martin are premier players in the league. They didn't seem that way last night. The C's executed play after artful play all night. The difference I saw between the two teams was teamwork. The C's were playing the "We" game and the Nuggs were locked into the "Me" game. This Celtics team, even if they bomb the rest of the season, has already given me more joy than the previous three seasons combined. Now, if only the Patriots would start playing well, we'd have a great sports town.
