February Thaw



2/16/08 9 pm. Been a while since I've written. Been busy trying to enjoy a more normal life style. Fortunately the body/disease is mostly cooperating. Numbers are good, clinical trial is good and we're moving forward. The diabetes continues to be a challenge and we're meeting with doctors, nutritionist etc. to deal. Gotta exercise more, loose weight, eat healthy. Am trying to cleanup my act. Been playing alot of music, which is a joy and a challenge. Great way to keep the brain, lungs, coordination etc. happening. I also love it all very much. I respond to musical sounds in any and all forms/styles/venues. Been to hear Berio's Symphonia, Beethoven's 5th, Santi DiBriano's Bass Threesome, and Winard Harpers Band at Shanghai, as well as playing some jazz and blues and symphony and brass stuff myself. Whew!!! Soon, hopefully, Pink Martini and KD Lang. Last week a storm hit the East Coast, so we headed North to Rhinebeck, NY to get into the snow. Stayed on a 40 acre horse farm BnB, WhistleWood Farm. Delicious. Stayed in the Carriage House, Morningside Room. Met really interesting people (See their website:(usonfoot.com). Enjoyed the movie "The Savages". Restaurants, Bars etc. Here's some pictures from our little vacation. Enjoy the Thaw (whenever it comes and goes!!). Ah yes, and here's Carol at her 65th birthday bash: "Aged to Perfection!!" Love, peace, thanks. JIMBO
