Travel

There was a cool quote on my hotel Le Meredien this weekend. It was from Pico Iyer. I will read more of his work later but found another quote I love. Lately, My wanderlust is kicking in. Been in one place too long and dying to get out...

If travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it's a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end. 

Quote from Pico Iyer

I have a Hobby

I cannot even think where to begin. This was a two year old resolution. It finally came to fruition which is exhilarating and a little scary at the same time. I have sticks and no idea how to hold them (thank you Internet). I still need to get the cymbals set up but I am already thinking of the songs I want to learn. 

I put together a playlist but I don't think I'm ready for any of it but one can dream...

Seven Nation Army

Car Wheels on a Gravel Road

In the Air Tonight

Baba O'Riley

Hard to Handle

Little Favours

Love Spreads

Are You Gonna Go My Way

This is just a start. The drummer librarian needs to do some research.
