And now...

It's really very easy to neglect a blog when you're certain no one's reading it - I don't even get spam here! But here we are. 2007. The Democrats have control of the House and Senate. Apple has, at long last, revealed the phone-slash-pda that we've all been waiting for (and I'll never have one as long as it's Cingular). All should be swell. Alas, it is not. I am shot through with a persistent ennui, one that pervades all but my sleep. I'm still trying to work on music, and I've settle into a new job that suits me and that, for once, I'm actually qualified for. My family is awesome - my daughter is blossoming before me into a teenage garage rock bassist who also draws and paints and sings and is nine feet tall and fast and funny. And yet, I feel like I'm on some sort of tipping point, like I'm paused at the top of the first big hill on a roller coaster, and something is about to happen.

Maybe this is the feeling you have before you finally give up and get old.
