Rejected

This morning I was sent home from the gym for being too sick. I was quite disappointed because I was looking forward to a little tennis and some weights. But it is not like I was forced or anything, so perhaps subconsciously I knew they were right.

It's pretty funny actually, above family and friends, it is the folks at my gym who are concerned about my well being. It was really sweet but definitely a sign that I am spending too much time there. That's probably not such a bad thing, of all possible regular hang outs like brothels, bars, or online chat rooms, a den of fitness isn't such a terrible choice.

Now, if only there was someone telling me right now that I shouldn't go to the office today, I am positive my subconscious would agree.

Divine Brown

Just got home from the Divine Brown concert at theatre junction and I can't settle down. What a natural high! She of course was brilliant with that beautiful voice. Wow, what a voice. But on top of raw vocal talent she turned out to be a great entertainer with engaging dialogue and fantastic supporting musicians and dancers.

My appreciation of Ms. Brown originated from one song, which played on the radio last summer. This song automatically captured my attention and I remember dancing in my car. Even now, although I have listened to it repeatedly, it still makes me happy.

What a rush, hearing a song you adore performed live, performed well, and performed in an intimate environment. I had really high expectations when I bought tickets for this show and I am not in the least bit disappointed.
