Scenes from an Open Mic, Part 2
February 22, 2007This guy recently moved to Minnesota from California and performed a single song at the open mic.
To be honest with you, I really liked it. He had a unique voice and an unusual charisma on stage, swaying back and forth as he sang. The song was good too. I wish I would have gotten his name. So, dude—if you’re reading this, drop me a line. I’d like to hear more of your stuff.
Racquetball
I’ve finally been playing a lot more racquetball. I used to play a lot more, but then I got busy. I’ve been saying that I should get back in the game for way too long now, and it’s starting to feel good. Now, if I can only keep it up I’ll be in good shape in no time flat.
I love the game. To me, it seems like such a perfect amalgam a lot of different things. You have to be quick, think on your toes, and strategize one or two moves ahead of your opponent. When I am evenly matched, as corny as it sounds, I feel like a samurai in a sword fight. Time seems to come to a halt and you can plan your next few moves all in the blink of an eye.

Translation of the comments of “objectif-plume”: “Very beautiful portrait. I like that you can’t see the face. That gives it mystery.”
I agree wholeheartedly, and I’m glad that my training in French has helped ShiftingPixel. I will be emailing you tomorrow, Joe.

Thanks for the nice comments. I’m really happy that you are liking this series… it feels risky to me. But, with your encouragement, things feel better.
And thanks for the translation Dave. I had done a Google translation on it, but yours is better.
