Gone Fishing

I am leaving in a few hours and haven’t packed yet.

I look at the trees in my yard and a funny German saying pops into my head: Die Bäume schlagen aus. See how Google translates that one.

And why does Blogger have such trouble with accents and umlauten? This is the 21st century for crying out loud… I wrote this post using my browser pointed at blogger.com and it came out wrong. But when I re-opened the post in Mars and typed the umlaut again it worked – figure that one out…

I think the album is done – even though I changed two of the songs quite a bit only yesterday…

I am off to a week-long Sesshin. Won’t take my computer with me, so posting will be rare or, more likely, will not happen at all.

I’ll be back a week from tomorrow.

My guitar is already where I am going, sent via Federal Express early this week. I trust FedEx more than our airlines – and I can insure the guitar for full value when I send it. Guitar in case in cardboard box… and I don’t have to shlepp it either.

Ciao!

    Hey, great idea! When my son flies, he buys a seat for his cello. (Expensive, but cheaper than the single $1,800 repair bill for one “not-out-fault” incident last year.) I’ll pass on the suggestion!

    Ah, but he won’t get that extra meal on the plane any more.
