my dad says the reason he doesn’t like going on vacation is a) he cant’ stop thinking about all the work he has to do while he’s there and b) there is a veritable mountain of work to be buried under when he returns.

while i cannot identify with the first, i certainly can the second. it is quite a mountain i’ve been under.

right now marks the first “free” time i’ve had since i got back, which could change at any moment. needless to say, my deadline to get home recordings done that once seemed easily attainable now seems like it will be a little tighter. so i really need to get back into it. it’s hard though, when you’re out of the groove to get back in it; seems like there is extra work involved in re-familiarizing myself with what i’ve done and where i’m at with each song. it’s probably true but that’s all the more reason to get back in there.

i am going to work on the banjo part again. also there is a possible lyric/title change i’ve been thinking about for one of the songs. more on that later.
