Jammin with the best of them

Had an opportunity to take the weekend off. Limos and I averaged over 100 hours each in the last 7 days of working. Was well deserved, and somewhat relaxing.

Friday night I spent some time with my daughter, and we went and slept outside under the stars on our back patio. (It is off the ground and fully enclosed.. so I didn't have to be worried about being eaten by the coyotes or bears). Had an awesome time enjoying the smell of clean air, beautiful canvas of black with silver stars... and the occasional bliss of a falling star streaking across the sky.

It was my friend's stag yesterday, so we spent the day out shooting each other playing Paintball in Langley. I need to get in better shape. Although I can shoot better than most... can't move as quickly as I would like. I had to rely on smart moves to stay alive. After that we went to a really good restaurant called "Montanas". Great food. Nice service. Busy. Once we fully engourged in enough meat and alcohol to make a cowboy blush.. we went and checked out MIIB. Evening ended pretty mildly... which was ok since I had a long drive ahead of me home.

Spent most of this morning relaxing, reading up on SNMP and listening to music. Since the Chief and I have talked about some jazz jam sessions I have been listening to a lot more flugel horn, contemplating if I want to get back into it. Fell in love with Chris Botti and his sounds... and realize that I am missing out on something I truely enjoy. I need a vessle to escape the manner of work I am doing, and I think music may put that back in scope for me again. We will see what happens I guess. Lots of people can/like rock guitar.. but it is a totally different thing to jam with a flugel horn or trumpet. Not as easy to find people to play with.
