A FEW THINGS I MIGHT NOT HAVE MENTIONED TO YOU DURING THE LAST LONG SILENCE
I bought a new piano. My father died. I decided to get more serious about my career as a graphic designer. I went to Thailand again, this time with the lovely Killer. Spent some time in Chaing Mai during the Loi Kraton festival. Magic. Went to New York City with on a brotherly love roadtrip with my brother to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of my father. Had my house infested by rats. Had a waterpipe burst in the ceiling over my dining room, which sounds like bad news but was good news, since the insurance paid for replacing the ugly ceiling with a very pretty new one and the old hardwood floor with wildly cool bamboo flooring. Bought a new gas stove when the old one conked out. I loved the old one, but the new one is better. Has a griddle on the middle upon which I make my long-suffering girlfriend her two favorite meals; blueberry lemon griddle cakes and grilled goat cheese sandwiches with onion jam. Got a bottle of ultrafine aged balsamico. I mean the really good stuff. It was for Christmas from my brother and his boyfriend, who are the finest. Bought a new spring coat. Urban grey. Very cool. Ate a lot of sushi. Ran a lot. Listened to lots of Miles Davis and Wolfgang Dauner and Lou Reed. Played some pretty cool gigs with the gamelan, including two wild fusions with jazz players and ghanaian drummers.
Well, that about brings us up to date. What have you been doing?
