Inhale, for luck (tour blog 2.0)

I woke up with a slight crick in my neck, Cass had just gotten out of the shower "good morning J.J." she chirped "how did you sleep?" but she had walked into her room before I could answer, she had to get to a class that Morning, she ran out the door with a promise of lunch when she was done for the day.

I got up and took a much needed shower, washed the booze off me from the night before, the sleep from my eyes, the smell of cigarettes, but you couldn't wash the smile from my face, I got dressed and went down to the little coffee shop down the street and ordered a latte and a pastry, I brought it back to Cassie's house and planted myself firmly on her porch.

Its interesting to me when inspiration comes, A red cobble stone road the leads past the house that I had never been to before, blue Sky's, the neighbor lady standing on the corner listening to me sing with a winsome smile on her face, she bowed her head as if to pray, then shook it off just as quickly, walked intently to her car, opened the door and looked at me right in the eye, she smiled...

BAM

"The bars are always empty, when the side walks are full
and holding hads is never quite enough
making love was easier, before I met you
now I'm to scared to touch
now I'm to scared to touch"

I have been in love before, everyone has, i fall in love at the drop of a hat, you flash me a smile and I am already planning our grandchildrens wedding... we went to a sweet little sushi place called "Raw" I had awesome Spicy tuna rolls and California rolls, Cass had the Vegan rolls which were so good...

That night I was at the Caterina Winery with T.J. Sherril, I love that guy, I love that I walk into the room across the state and sit in the front row, and he just laughs, like it totally makes sense that I am there... I saw Karlie Fairbanks live for the first time... she moved me... again... I was planning out grandchildrens wedding.

The nice promoter/bar tender of the show Patrick was very helpful with getting me beyond the comforts of sobriety, Cass wanted me to meet her back at the pool hall after the show, so I "stumbled" across the city... rather lost... I stopped in the park.. near the Spokane falls... I really wanted to go for a swim...

I met Cass and a couple of her Friends at Far West and they immediately handed me a small glass of clear liquid, followed by a lime... you can only imagine

we got home at around 2 am, I watched "Into the Wild" and nearly cried my self to sleep... I love that movie...

I slept well that night.
