Good morning!

I'm sitting at cflute's dining table leeching off an obliging neighbor's open wireless and Comcast link. Fast as a bat. (We know it's Comcast because it was pointing to their setup page most of yesterday afternoon.) Just made a pot of coffee. Somehow I managed to misread my watch (it was dark) and must have gotten up at about 6:20 thinking it was 7:30. That's OK; I'll be back in my own bed tonight, with my own flower_cat.

Had a good chat yesterday afternoon with technoshaman (he picked me up at the hotel around 3pm), followed by a delightful dinner of grilled salmon, asparagus, and fruit salad, followed by much music. Let's see if I can remember...

"Cicero in the 21st Century"
"TEOTWAWKI v2.0"
"Bigger on the Inside"
"House Carpenter/Demon Lover" -- that really does make a good pairing.
"Shores of the Night" (my very first filksong)
"Silk and Steel"
(I think there may have been one other, but I'm blanking on it right now. Need more coffee.)(8:20: got it!)
"Someplace In the Net"

I'm looking forward to the Lamplighters production of Ruddygore tomorrow.

Leaving Portland

Here I am at the Portland airport, taking advantage of their free wireless. Why can't San Jose do something like that?

Had a wonderful visit with cflute and technoshaman; lots of singing. Today Callie and I worked on catsittingstill's song "Wings" (which I love, and have always imagined being sung by a male anyway). Callie had the correct chords worked out, and I think I've finally nailed the melody modulo one note that keeps trying to go different ways. I'll have to check on it.

Also did "Ship of Stone", "Desolation Row/Desolation - Oh No!", "Rambling Silver Rose", and "Bouncing Potatoes". (And I'm probably forgetting one.) "John Silicon". (10pm) "I Am the Walrus".

Looks like the plane may be running twenty ten minutes or so late.
