Is It Safe to Land?

Back to the grind today.  It's amazing how short vacations can just relax us and give us a fresh start.

That said, it was a bit of rough Monday.  I picked up a slight cold in Vancouver, so I spent the morning fighting that a little.  The first cup of coffee tasted pretty bad, but the second was a lot better.  It was also extremely hot today, which felt even more amplified from being in cool, wet weather all weekend.

While I was in Vancouver, we had a couple of shoots in the office.  One shoot had no problems, and the other had problems with the mic.  So I looked at it today when they brought the equipment back, and everything was working fine for me.  I did notice that the camera mount was on the mic transceiver instead of the receiver.  Somehow I missed that in my pre-checkout inspection.  Ugh.  I know that I told them on the phone when they called me to check which beltpack they were using, but I guess that got lost in the shuffle somehow.  I take responsibility for it, though, as I really should have caught that, and should have pointed out the mic workings to them when I gave them the camera.  Live and learn, eh?

The more I contemplate my house boat in Coal Harbor, the more I want it, and the sooner I want it to happen.  But, I can't rush things.  Everything has a time, and when it's meant to be, I'll know.  I have to work on writing first.  Not a lot of writing jobs up in Vancouver.  I'm comforted in knowing that I know where I want to go next, whenever that is.

I really like the band Travis.  I didn't even realize until a few months ago that they come from Scotland.  From them comes "Follow the Light", although it's a few years old.  But that's the beauty of music.  Unless it's pop and overplayed on the radio, it doesn't exactly go bad.  Even with the overplayed stuff, after a while it's good to listen to again.

I want to dance in the moonlight until I fall.  But not in this heat.
