Hey SGland

Been home this weekend and have tomorrow off too. that's for three weeks out.

Right now just sitting at the computer with a couple of candles lit and cats sharing the bed with me. Not too bad, restful.

Saturday had a b-day party for my mom and brother as well as mothersday party thrown in. Today I wandered around western mass some, tried to catch a fish in various places but was rather a slow day. Got a totally excellent pizza at Buckland Pizza, across the bridge from Shelburne Falls, highly recommended you pay them a visit. After I left the pizza place I noted that Michelle Shocked was playing a mothers' day gig at the shelburne falls town hall. Not a real big venue, but very typical of western mass.

In my travels I've seen some glorious places and met some nice people, but I daresay western mass is a glorious place with some nice people as well. Mass has its own flavor, like the nectar in a cover petal or the dew on a red autumn leaf.

My car is a glorious ride, after the big rig for three weeks. Too bad I can't make a living driving a 2600 pound vehilcle on mountain backroads listening to depeche mode. I could listen to DM on my truck of course but it
fits the car ride better. I listen to other things on the big rig.

Just now I started up an LJ account to better keep in touch with my old friends/ acqauintances in the pioneer valley. Being out on the road you take a lot fewer things for granted, and now I have a much stronger interest in the daily goings-on in the lives of people I know, that I did not pay such close attention to before when I could just see them at any time. some other idiot already has the name Dr_Lizardo there. unoriginal bastard.

Gottal dig around for that photoshop elements cd, so I can start posting pics from the road.

Well, take care everyone.

I had an old Merc (got an old Lexus now - I like old cars), but I remember a few years ago I was using the delivery van all the time at work. It was a small business and I used to have to do a lot of the stuff myself. But when I got back into my Merc after a few weeks it felt like the smoothest quietest vehicle in the world. I can only imagine how much more extreme it must have felt for you to get back into your car after so many weeks behind the wheel of a big truck.

Thank you for commenting in my journal. smile It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has a hard time putting my game face on when I get out of bed. It's nice to know I'm not entirely alone with how I think/feel...

I hope you're having a good day. biggrin

Aw, you know how to make a long-haired kitty blush!
My face is looking so much better already!
Thanks for the kind words re. my art. Writing is my point fort, followed by singing and live performance, so any supportive words mean the galaxy to me!

Some folks like living out of a van (down by the river?) doing expedite work for companies such as FedEx Custom Critical or Panther II. Just an FYI if you like being on the road but would prefer to do it in something smaller.

I've thought about it from time to time.

Is it us or is May just not a face-friendly month?
