Where have I been?

Oh dear blog. It's been so long! How I have missed thee. These past few weeks have been busy but that is not the best excuse for having neglected you for so long. San Antonio was alright. I love my family and being so far from them only strengthens that. In general the city was okay. I can't say I'll be rushing back any time soon. I got home around 11pm Sunday night and left for Minneapolis at 1pm on Monday. Packing was easy at least. Although I was a bit of a mess mentally. I like to be as prepared as possible for business meetings and I was sure I was missing something important. Everything went well though. When I meet my clients I always feel reassured that I am doing my job well.

Minneapolis was an interesting city. I like being alone in a big city. When the work day ends I get to roam around finding a place to dine and amuse myself for a few hours. When I'm tired out I have my own hotel room to go back to. On this trip I found a cool little jazz club called Rossi's. I came across it while wandering and it was perfect. It was a dimly lit underground joint with a big bar and little round tables surrounding the stage. The band playing was the Scottie Miller Band. These guys have a southern blues sound that is really addictive. So much so that I went back a second night and made friends with them. The singer/songwriter/pianist Scottie and the bass player John took me out to a bar after the set and we chatted for a few hours. Really cool people. Wonderful experience.

Everyone is busy. Everyone has amazing stuff happening. How on earth do we all keep up with our lives? I have to say to the people I know read this, you all amaze the hell out of me. Shows and jobs and new amazing people just keep tumbling in and everyone is so talented. It's a rich life. I sound drunk and I have not been drinking. That means it's bed time. G'night blog. G'night rich friends.
