Yesterday, I went to move a stack of papers from one drawer to another in a cabinet only to discover there wasn't room in the new drawer. In my own head I actually said Edit, Undo as if I would be able to click away what I'd just done. I need to step away from the computer.http://www.dixiesroadtrip.com/2007/04/computerized.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dani Shaw)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220030.post-4206884653012241628Sun, 15 Apr 2007 04:40:00 +00002007-04-14T23:54:03.054-05:00musicIt's easy to become complacent in the things that you are passionate about. Luckily, it is also still possible to be reminded of that passion. I had the chance to see Darrell Scott last night at Uncle Calvin's Coffee House. I was beginning to forget the things about music that inspire me and make me feel happy. His show reminded me ... his voice called to mind Willis Allen Ramsey.

I had an unphotographable moment this week when I was visiting Texas A&M. There was a second when I noticed something familiar.

It became known to most of the folks at the meeting that it was missing. I had a few folks come to me to express their personal regret. I instantly felt terrible that it would be a burden for anyone else and I felt guilty for my own carelessness.

It's never the same tornado so I guess it qualifies more as a recurring theme than dream. This time, I am at the largest Walmart ever that is sitting in the middle of absolutely nowhere but there are so many people that we have to park in a field outside the already mile size parking lot (with 8ft chainlink fence around it).http://www.dixiesroadtrip.com/2006/04/recurring-dreams.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dani Shaw)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220030.post-114369964619829936Thu, 30 Mar 2006 06:07:00 +00002006-03-30T00:56:13.336-06:00I've stopped being any good at getting by or even barely getting by.
