Tucson International Airport has free wireless – FTW-!
I am sitting an eating a tossed green salad and thin crust margarita (sic) pizza with a Hank’s gourmet philadelphia recipe root beer.
Not a bad way to wait for a plane.
I should add that this airport is very well-appointed. There are a lot of gallery installations, decent restaurants reasonably priced an even sections with cushy chairs in and amongst the regular banked airport chairs.
I hung out with a group of *Bad Girls* today (in short, vivacious, talented creative artists), and that was a great blessing. I’ve also been shopping around for good deals on hanten for a friend and am debating whether or not I should buy this:

for m’self. It’s not perfectly ideal, but I like it well enough to consider it.
Still getting good feedback on the solo…that it was atypical but varied, textured, musical, and moving.
I dunno. Ultimately, I am happy the audience enjoyed it, and it’s all over and done. There will be another and another and another. Many more opportunities. Hrmm. But I will say was the big problem was I was kangae-sugi….thinking too much….trying too hard.
The Southern Arizona Taiko Showcase was a blast, all in all, and the weather has been almost warm, though very wet. We had carnitas at Juanito’s and some fun times at Buddy’s Grill.
I also had some good body work done and a sublime organic miso shiru, umeboshi & organic kim chee. This trip I am leaving with the sense of having gotten much more back than I put into it, and so I am leaving refreshed and invigorated.
I am looking forward to being home. I need to take care of a lot of stuff with regard to my dad’s estate and pending home foreclosure, and a few other things, and I need to spend some time working on the wilderness outside my back door and get back to trying to trap the last 2 feral cats so that I can spay/neuter them.
I’m sad I’m missing my group’s xmas party. Bah Humbug! Ahh well. As long as everyone’s having fu, it’s all good.
Plane’s boarding soon, so I’m gonna log.
