That photo up there was my view of last night’s sunset from the deck of an Air BnB on Whidbey Island in Washington’s Puget Sound. I’m here for a reunion of some old friends, most of whom I haven’t seen since we made this same trip a year ago. I’ll be going back home tomorrow afternoon.
Last night was a late night, loaded up with alcohol and talk. That made for a late wake-up this morning, and I’m one of only two people in our group of seven who are awake yet at this point. I briefly thought about pulling together at least a brief roundup of new music, but my rumbling stomach and fuzzy head convinced me that pumping my skull full of loud noise wouldn’t be a great idea.
So I’m just watching the tides and the seabirds this morning, guzzling water and coffee. I’m not confidant that Sunday morning will be any different, so if you don’t find a SHADES OF BLACK post tomorrow you’ll know why.
What I am confidant about is that we’ll be back in gear on Monday… for a couple of days… and then I’ll be taking another blog break… a much longer one… for a trip to England… for Andy Synn‘s wedding next weekend!


Enjoy the well earned time off! And congratulations to the mighty Andy Synn!
Thank you!
