Ian's New Song

Stinky Comcast, the modem they rent me conks out all the time. I'm now logged in only through some random neighbors wireless network called "linksys." Thank goodness for this kind neighbor who doesn't require a password to use his access. But unfortunately the connection is pretty weak, just 2 bars. .. so it's slow.

Had another good practice tonight, running through our set for Sunday and working through Ian's new song. It's very sweet and lovely, in my opinion, a gently flowing rumination on higher love. I like it alot, and it sticks with you. We'll be playing it on Sunday.

Hey, I'm up to 3 bars on the wireless connection! Thanks, unknown neighbor!

We're finally moving into the new house on Friday and Saturday. This is quite a time of transition for my little family. New house, new career for me, new school for my 5 year old daughter. . . everything seems kind of unfamiliar. But we'll get through it all with the strength of our love. I was thinking. . . it's kind of easy loving when people are "being themselves," (assuming that they aren't total wackadoos, of course), but the moments when love is really tested (and needed) are the moments when things get a bit extreme, or hurtful, or stressful, or difficult. . . And I'm fortunate to be surrounded by people with love that is stronger than death.
