back for a moment

I'm back from my brief trip to New York. I'm glad I went. It was good to see Lori doing better than I expected. She said I was a calming presence. I think I was helped by my visit as much as she was. She's such an inspiration, doing whatever she can to extend her life(force), and trying to really enjoy all that she has left. I made some music for her, we made some together, and I left feeling like we'll be able to do it again.

Tomorrow night I fly to Costa Rica. Monkeys and mangoes, here I come!
