After flying to Georgia on Friday, sleeping (or trying to sleep) in hotel room with malfunctioning a/c, sweating in bed, being woken up by screaming baby in next room at 4:30 am Saturday am, shower at 6:30 am without hot water, presenting a lecture for the Georgia Society ofRespiratory Care meeting in savannah at 8am in morning, finishing, race to get my rental car, race to airport for delayed flight lacking a/c also, developing major swamp ass on flight #1, getting off flight #1, having to race on foot 600+ yards through 6 concourses for connecting flight, only to realize they moved flight back to original concourse, race back 600+ yards to original concourse! board second flight! delayed by 1.5 hours, lacking a/c again (no shit), swamp ass accelerating and becoming even more saturated, finally leave, finally land, sprint on foot through norf airport, get to car, race home to suffolk, get there at 4pm, bypass much needed shower, no time, kiss Stacey, hook trailer up to Tahoe, head to gig, traffic again, delayed, get to gig, hot as hell outside while we set up, sweating again, get set up in time enough to rock Calypso for 4 straight hours (3hours of drumming in the heat, loved every second of it), see awesome friends who came out for us, break down equipment, sweating like I have never sweated before, exhausted more than I have ever been, sweating, swamp ass still there, exhausted, want nothing more than sleep, load equipment into trailer, park trailer (12:20 am) head to Chix with all bandmates to watch good friend Steve Steve Forss, play, starving cause I havent eaten since my bag of pepperoni combos I had at 10 am (its now 1 in the morning), still exhausted, walk back to truck, ride home, hit the sac at 3:00 am, up at 7:30 cause my 2 year old son likes to count his ABCs out really loud (I truely do love the sound of his baby babble) daughter comes in 2 minutes later crawls over me to get in between my wife and I (I truly love having my daughter at my side), roll over to watch Stacey sleep, she looks like the most beautiful angel when she is sleeping, Im still exhausted, wondering how I am going to get through today on lil sleep, no answer comes to mind. However throughout all this, I wore the biggest smile through it all because I wouldnt trade this life for anything else, I love everything about it, and I would live this life over and over again. Feeling very appreciative of all the good and bad this life has brought me and am thankful for the growth it has fostered. I would rather be awake and be part of life than to sleep and be rested for it, every moment Im awake is a moment someone wishes they had for themselves or someone else, so I will take them all!
