I'm on Day 3 of my weekend in Nebraska and I'm having a great time. I'm sitting at The Foundry, where I'm playing tonight, and listening to a couple old guys talk about the inventions of ancient Mayans. The original question was "what do you think about original sin?" I think they think that means "can you come up with a sin that's original?" I'm still not quite sure where this is going...
I had a really fun show last night in Lincoln. Crystal Davy, who filled in for Danielle with Caedmon's for a while last year, sang a few songs with me. Her husband Ben put on the show and did a great job. She's going to join me again tonight, and I'm grateful. I'm always more comfortable playing music with other people than just by myself.
I need to pass along some truly terrible news. I left my hat on the airplane on the way out here. This was the best hat I've ever owned. I filed a claim with Southwest, so maybe it will show up, but I doubt it. It's a pretty amazing hat. If I found it, I don't think I'd turn it in. Much sadness...
Well, I'm going to go walk down the street and see if the used bookstore a few doors down is still open. Any suggestions?

It's not about the bike, By Lance Armstrong, great read-
The Alphabet of Grace by Frederick Buechner
I love the Counting Crows... ( they probably won't have them at the bookstore though)
dandelion wine by ray bradbury.
I left my favorite hat on a bunkbed in Guatemala three years ago. I still look in shop windows for it, even though they stopped making it in 2003. Somewhere in Chimaltenango, there is a very happy Guatemalan.
Anything by Jules Verne. But especially 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
Sadness over the hat. I know the feeling of attachment to various articles of clothing.
The meaning of Person by Paul Tourner (forgot the exact last name but i know it sounds like that.:-) )
Dune - Frank Herbert
If you like Battlestar Galactica you would love this book. It has political intrigue, environmentalist commentary and a heaping dose of sci-fi nerdyness.
Weird... I love BSG but have tried to read Dune at least three times and I can never get into it. :-(
Did you hear the part of their conversation about event horizons, and infinity, and events bouncing off of the horizon and coming back for billions of years, I had no idea where that one was going.
