I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire

No need to worry, I didn't really fall into a burning ring of fire. That's the name of a Johnny Cash tune, "Ring of Fire". I went to a Honky Tonk night tonight and got in a dance with Julie. The band was Knut Bell and the Blue Collars. Had a great time. Sage, Jeff and Kristan showed up. I was invited back to Sage's house after the bar closed, but I didn't feel like facing temptation. Monday will be two weeks of sobriety; I think I'll celebrate by shooting herion. . . . just a joke, mom. . . I'm kidding. Went out dancing 4 times in the last week! I'm not going to get any better if I don't get out there and do it more. I really enjoy watching the good dancers. Wil's girlfriend Carie (my dance instructer) came out Wednesday night to the Owl and Thistle to dance. We had a great time. She cut a rug with me and the better dancers. Lots of fun.

It's been a pretty good week. Buster and I went to a magic meeting up in Lynnwood, I performed some experiments in intuition and demonstrated a bit of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programing). It was well recieved. I feel a warm connection with the magic community here in Seattle. They like me and I like them. It's really kind of a rocking scene.

Bought some sneakers the other day. I'm going to start jogging again with Kirk Charles. Brian Masters and I stopped bt the Fenix Underground last night for a bit to watch him work. I also bought a football for Buster and I to play toss with. We having been trying to get out and play a little every day. It's fun. Working with my planner has been helpful for me to identify my highest priorities and act on them daily. A couple of those items are getting some exercise and spending quality time with my son. Seems to be agreeing with both of us.

Last night we did something different we went to Sabbath Services at a Synagog. Don't ask me why, I don't know. I guess I'm searching for something that I'm not finding. We had a good time and saw a customer of mine from the shop. His name is Vance, he was there with his wife and two boys. I called him earlier in the day to see if we could come. I did a gig there last year. I wouldn't mind plugging into the Jewish Community here in Seattle. I have never been a religious person in my life, but I guess seeing what it's all about can't be a bad thing.

Today we ate buffalo wings and watched the playoff games on TV. Good games, both of them. In between games we went out into the freezing rain and tossed the football till it got dark. We came in, I made a fire, and dinner. And that's about it.

It's going on 3AM and I think it's time for bed. Goodnight.
