Well, Jason White called, and he said David Mead was in town, and could we all write a song together, so I went over to his place around 11 and we picked up David and we wrote for a while on an idea called “This Could Be The Night”, and it was pretty good, but I didn’t have anything really for breakfast and I was kind of starving, so Jason suggested we go to the cheese shop. I had a good sandwich there. Ham and Cheese type thing, but it was too much bread, and I really don’t eat sandwiches. Well…that’s a lie. But I will have them “open-faced” So after lunch, we were going to continue, but we all felt a bit peaked, so we abandoned writing, and I went home and chilled out for a bit and took a walk down the boulevard, then went to Hopkins for dinner, and had a nice time seeing my brother and his boyfriend who just returned from New York. Then I went home and took Posh home and walked to Hillsboro Village and met Jason Lening and David Mead at Cabana. I guess it’s a pretty good place, but I had too much whisky and smoked and I felt so horrible I swear i’m never drinking again. Well maybe just wine or something. But it was fun for a while and David is very charming and funny. And we had a good talk, and it was the question: “What do you think your friends wish was different about you?” and that got the conversation, sort of, ignited. Mine was that I think my friends probably wish I was more focussed. Like not so ADD, but then, that’s me. I don’t know, they probably wish a lot of things. What do I wish was different about myself? Maybe that my nose was slightly smaller and that my hair would grow and that I was 2 inches taller and quite wealthy. But that can all be remedied. I mean, at the end of the day I feel quite lucky to be the person I am and live at the time I live, and above all, to do what I do. Very lucky.
