whew. i have slept 17 different places since september 15th. been all the way to the east coast, spent time 15 miles from the canadian border in bellingham, washington, and i am headed to san diego tomorrow night for a friend's wedding. seen many different places - central oregon, seattle, portland, washington's north coast, the california redwoods and its north coast. it is strange to be 'home', knowing that waking up i won't have that 'what exciting/interesting places will i see today?' feeling...i have enjoyed stepping into these places for a day or so...experiencing life there.

a trip highlight in seattle...at dinner sunday (pike's place public market) i was reading through the free local entertainment guide. discovered john mayer was playing that night, 3 blocks from the hostel where i was staying. a tiny club. only about 100 people there. dan and i had a great time. there were two college age guys standing next to me during the show. nosy me was 'overhearing' their converstation - they were talking about a band they know of that covers dmb tunes. and one of them said:

"yeah, they do a great version of that numbered song....number 42."

i bit my lip to keep from laughing. anyways, the show was great - opened with why georgia (my favorite) and closed with comfortable. the first couple songs and comfortable were just john, with the rest of the band joining him for the rest of the set. and i must say, that boy has a huge mouth! looked like he was going to swallow the microphone. :) funny banter between the songs...and a pretty long set, considering he doesn't have a huge catalog of songs. just a fine fine show. stoked i got to see him. totally stoked.

ok. this has taken forever...no typing in ten days=slow slow slow typing...more tomorrow. hope y'all had a great week....
