Nice weather in Astoria
This weekend has been really nice, in the 60s, sunny, like April.
Today i began a huge poetry archiving project. I am transcribing poems from 1990 to 2008 into computer files, then copying them for archiving to a CD, and keeping other files on my external HD. There are poems from Bloomington, Paris, Slovenia, Tokyo, Sendai, Sagamihara, Chicago, NYC, California, Oregon, Washington, Houston, and elsewhere....some of them i am having a tough time reading! Hahaha, must be the ones written in the wee hours of the morning.
Later today i will head over to the Downtown Music Gallery to see Jason Stein and Matt Lavelle play a bass clarinet duo. I played with Jason at Freddy's in Brooklyn a couple of years ago and it is still the best gig i have been a part of so far in NYC. Jeff Arnal on drums, Jason on bass clarinet, Thomas Helton on bass, me on waterphone....i wish we had a recording of that one.....it'll be nice to see Jason again!
Everyday i call my parents. They are fine. Life goes on. I have 2 new translation projects in the works and an interpreting job that involves oncology and legal stuff as well....hope all is well with everyone. Peace and Love to You and Yours!
