Sunrise is the instant at which the upper edge of the Sun appears above the horizon. Sunrise & sunset are, from one point of view, optical illusions. Objects appear higher in the sky than they are in reality. Sunrise reminds us of our ephemeral life. What we decide to do with each precious capsule of time is of our own choosing. Let it not be said at the end of our day that our perceived value on earth was an optical illusion and our worth appeared to be higher than it was in reality.

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
William Shakespeare

"Have you not done tormenting me with your accursed time! It's abominable! When! When! One day, is that not enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you?"
SAMUEL BECKETT, Waiting for Godot

"Take off your hat to your yesterdays; take off your coat for your tomorrows." - Proverb
Easily, playing in a band LIVE was one of the top 10 experiences I have ever had the opportunity to be connected with (and I have had quite a few). It was indeed, what I hoped it would be and more.
Played satisfactorily, small crowd of people I didn't know (except for Lisa, Sarah and Dustin), and the adrenalin of a live performance (no 'do-overs' as the boys used to say). When we got to the last song and I had passed the hard parts and were in the final moments and I knew I had it nailed and was going to achieve the personal goal I had set for myself...I actually looked up into the audience at Lise (filming, thank you very much) and SMILED. Then, I let myself enjoy the moment. It doesn't get any better.

“The infinite is in the finite of every instant.” - Zen Saying
"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." - H. Jackson Brown
Note to ponder: Hearing can be apparently over-corrected like vision. I had my hearing aids "toned down' today - more bass, less treble. Every little movement of paper shuffling, silverware clinking, ripping off a sheet of paper towel, etc. was magnified. At first it was merely interesting, like a magic show...but too much is just that - too much.
My son and personal IT staff, Dustin has been saving me loads of frustrated TIME. All the little, seemingly simple, IT tasks that I could probably have figured out "eventually" (if I didn't smash them first) were piling up because I was reluctant to invest the TIME to get them resolved, are now nearing completion. Devices I was set to throw in the trash, because -since I couldn't get them to work- they must be broken - are magically working just fine now.

“No use thinking of the past for its gone, don't think of the future because it has to come, think of the present because that’s where you are”. - Kazi Shams
Very foggy and cold this morning. Has been this way all week.
I actually had a preliminary conversation about retiring today at my work. Although it is a long way off: 2012 or 2013, it is yet another time capsule measurement. Since I wish to maximize my retirement, I will need to finish the work years strong. Added motivation for maximum income.
Started practicing tonight on my song set for my rock debut in April… will be the best three of these five songs:
“Smoke on the Water” - Deep Purple
“I - IV - V in A – Blues ” Traditional Blues Riff (My favorite)
“Midnight Hour” - Wilson Picket
“Baby, Please Don’t Go” - Van Morrison
“House of the Rising Sun” - Animals
Three months out and I NEED MORE TIME!! – HA. Practice - Practice - Practice
“Use the present wisely; the future will get here soon enough.” R.L. Welton
