Another Time, Another Place

Early morning moments, 5am on a flight back from Veracruz, Mexico. Watching the sunrise after a weekend of crashing waves, Cirque du Soleil, sunning at poolside, 2 trips to the show at the water's edge and again feeling as though I'm going through the motions, living the moments, but still missing something to make them complete. It was a nice trip, but...




And now another odd predicament. An ex's best friend is getting married. A month ago we met them in San Antonio to be introduced to the new man. In the process the bride's (married) sister came along. I developed a little crush and could tell there was some mutuality to it. I could make her laugh while her husband seemed to only annoy her.
The bride has now asked me to compose something for her to walk down the aisle to as she isn't fond of the traditional wedding march. So I dragged a melody out that I wrote 20+ years ago but never found a home for. Only I find the real inspiration in it all being driven by the little sister. So there I will be, at a wedding (always a favorite romantic venue for me) with an ex, watching the ex's best friend marry to music that I wrote, all inspired by the bride's married little sister.

Heh. Gotta love how I can never just keep anything simple.

Trying to get the house ready, get packed, get moved, buy furniture, etc etc etc. There is a ton to do and not enough time to do it. But once it's all done I'll be much happier
