Driving through the Flint Hills today, I was reminded of how beautiful the plains can be. I’ve spent about 15 hours on the road in the last two days; it’s been awesome to watch the wheat harvest underway. (And such road time has allowed for a ton of thinking and praying.) Happy today for my home-State …

A friend of mine invited me to Starlight’s The Drowsy Chaperone tonite. I don’t remember the last time I manufactured so many rounds of legitimate, gut-busting, giggles. (I could not stop myself!) I knew nothing of this Tony-award-winning-show going in; I positively loved it. If you can spring even $10 for the cheap seats (that’s where we sat), it’ll be worth every penny!
Here’s a teaser:

I’ve had one stuck in the back of my throat for a good hour or so. Why? (Is this guy really onto something?!) I dunno.

I’ve so missed rambling on-line in recent days. It’s been about all I can do to hold down a saltine cracker, so thinking–or even simply typing–has seemed out of the question.
I’ll try to leave it at that. (But must ask: why is it that the goriest moments of illness spark such an inclination to impose detail on the masses?! Is it the glory of having survived such extremes?!)
I came down sick last Sunday morning (at 3:13 a.m., to be exact). I was flat on my back (or hunched over the toilet) for the next 3 days. And, though I made it into the office on Wed & Thurs, my “system” has yet to find full recovery. (Tomorrow must be the day!) For the last couple of days, I’ve been working toward that delicate balance of caloric intake/stomache discomfort. A ratio nobody likes to figure out … especially those of us who like to eat.
But even as I have been about my own art & science, one ms. annie lennox has–herself–been working on proper ratios: artistry & soul. Tonite, I caught up on her class performance after my date for the evening (little Ethan) was snuggled cozy in his bed. The entire evening (precious, compassionate Ethan Cole and classy, soul-singin’ Annie Lennox) made me feel almost truly well again.
In celebration of them …
how cool is this place?

Watching the faces of orchestra conductors and jr. high students (while throwing away trash after lunch). Hard to find such expressions anywhere else, really. Sir Simon Rattle: one of my favs …
