Highlights: Coffee roasting one last time before the trip with Lauren. She hydroplaned iinto a curb on her final stretch home this am, resulting in a bent steering component on the front left tire. No injury to herself or others. She's rolling with it. Jen and I dropped in briefly at mom's before heading to Ridge with Matt. Stunning rainy/cloudy skies from on high. And wine. I finally found and replaced the headphones I handed down to Tommy years ago.
Insights: I miss him, but I don't. Is that even possible? I don't like the sense of disconnection while seeing it as a critical growth opportunity to “right his ship”. My response to Lauren's accident was to guide and support her, something sought and requested. She's so hard on herself sometimes... I have no idea where that came from. I grow more and more excited about the job, which I start on 6/5. That Mark Hollis quote on podcast about “The Spirit of Eden” was a powerful reminder that the art of music is not meant to be experienced as a background and in accordance the QC35’s are a long-desired return to better sound quality. After next week, resuming the writing of the book needs to be my top priority, perhaps even over this nightly recap. Perhaps.
