Saturday I'm awakened at noon when lightning hits the house next door. I am groggy & out of it but manage to make a few phone calls and then go back to sleep, waking up at 4:30 that afternoon. The weather is crazy--tornados etc.--so our camping plans are shot. Instead Jake & I sit out on his porch in the heart of suburbia and jam, while black clouds roll in and rain pours down.
Oh yeah I have a bass guitar now. It's an amazingly easy instrument to just pick up & start playing, until you want to hit something more than root I guess. Am taking lessons from Craig, Mark & Brian's little brother and an awesome bass guitar player, besides being a fellow frisbee player.
One of the strangest and most amazing sunsets later that night. For about a half hour, the sun glared orange from between a black cloud blanket and the horizon. Kind of like that apocalyptic afternoon I was in the belltower in Munich. Only this time, at the other end of the sky, a perfect double rainbow formed, the brightest and biggest rainbow I've ever seen in my life.
