The Parting Glass
I'm a lucky man. I have many friends of excellent quality. Some have gone from here, and there's many I have yet to meet and make friends.
Sometimes I look forward, and sometimes I look back, and sometimes I just look around. Better than looking down all the time. Right now lots of family stuff is washing around, and changes in the air--nothing real yet--and other changes desired or not. Persevering is the main key.
Speaking of in-key friends, one who'se gone I've been reminded of the last three weekends--first by dancing at a venue she used to play at with a relative of hers, then by meeting a young fun fiddler who had a slight air of hers (she's really very different, in many ways, but there was a sparkle in her eye) and finally by some foodie moments recently, related to motorcycle riding. Really, it's amazing that Leigh Ann hasn't been in my mind more. She was a catalyst for me to many adventures and art, and I was an inspiration to her and a doorway to a degree.
But anyway, some of her music's back on the web. Go check it out, it's fun:

I'm going to go raise a parting glass to her right now--right after I finish this new salsa recipe I'm testing, and check for tire prices for the bike.

Oh yeah,
Stopped leaking, pressure on cables OK, no obvious signs. Pressure on wallet bad right now. Perhaps later...
