my mind is on vacation

Paraphrasing the title of the great Mose Allison tune, I regret to report that I have not been able to think about anything in a cohesive enough manner to blog about it. I am preoccupied chiefly with three things these days and I will certainly get around to writing about at least one of them: a) aging and its associated fears b) getting back to meaningful songwriting and c) the filth and stink emanating from the current government...let me add d) the indifference with which c) is treated in this country/province/city - and it is astounding. We are at the precipice of the most profound constitutional crisis in this country's history and people either don't know or don't care or endorse the crooks. Oh yeah, sorry, there's also e) - the IIHF tournament. Yes, I'm talking hockey!! The most exciting hockey to be seen anywhere on the planet. And TSN is broadcasting all the Candian games. And just like the constitutional crisis - it's all under the radar of most blase, indifferent T.O. denizens. Wake up, people and tune in to TSN tomorrow morning for the final. Guess who's in it? Canada vs the Czech Rep (wish I could watch it but I'll be strumming my gtr and vocalizing at the Distillery)
Later
