Although I haven’t been finishing up many songs, I’m finding my process more a flood of ideas lately – so am scraping to get them written/recorded/documented as quickly as possible lest I lose the muse. It can be really frustrating having 30-40 ‘idealets’ floating around without any cut tracks to show for it, but I’m trying to stay optimistic and look at it as building up raw materials for about 10-15 really good finished pieces down the road.

ok, I totally geeked out a couple weeks ago and bought both my wife and myself those new nike+ ipod kits for our nanos. thought it would be lame, but it’s anything but! it’s been very cool to track my progress and goals, but most cool to compete with my wife. right now we’re neck-and-neck about 1/2 way through a ‘who can run 100 miles first’ challenge- which works wherever I’m at in the world. ya know, sometimes technology’s a crutch, sometimes it’s a distraction, but this is pretty f@#kin’ sweet. running motivation is just a playlist away… :)

Finally solved my difficulty in getting back on my mountain bike regularly over the last couple years- we just had to get a real bike for my wife (she had an older Giant ‘offroad cruiser’ that wasn’t particularly good at either). Now there’s no more squabbling over whether to run, hike or bike- we’ve clipped in and hit the trails nearly every day lately, either before or after our respective day gigs. Sweet.
