In Which I Am At Last Recognized for My Many Varied Achievements

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow dudes and ladies!

While you were all stuffing your faces with mashed potatoes and watching disturbingly large likenesses of cartoon characters meander down a city street, I was engaging in one of my all-time favorite activities.

That's right. Air travel.

Rest assured that good times were had by all, including-- but not limited to-- the gentleman from Minneapolis who had many, many questions about the book I was reading and who also apparently thought "Seat 27E" was secret code for "Seat 27E and also half of Seat 27F". It's cool, I enjoy scrunching against the window like this.

But hey, good news! I just found out that I won an award! And if there's one thing I like? It's awards.

It's the Artists' Choice award from MaxBumps.net and I couldn't be more excited if it was a national holiday and I had leftover pumpkin pie in the fridge.

Oh, wait. It is... and I do.

BEST. DAY. EVER.

Solstice be damned... winter is here, y'all.

I haven't touched a piano in over a week, though I'm in the midst of an exciting song experiment with a local musician and I'm itching to get back to the keys. It's been a crazy week, what with the election (yay) and Halloween (boo) and a million birthdays and visitors and home improvement projects in between.

But the dust is settling. Or at least it's thinking about it.

Anyway, I just wanted to touch base with you today and let you know that my song Smoke Signals just hit the sixtyone homepage for the third time! The first time was six months ago, on the morning of my 26th birthday.





What was a sweet surprise for this cold November morning.
