Well, what do you know? I just realized things have been going so well for me since I returned to freelancing that I hadn’t even noticed I’m just about two months enjoying the life of a Ronin.

I think this calls for a small celebration, and what better way to do it than with a song by my favorite band of all time that shows exactly how I feel?

“I’m gonna organize some changes in my life
I’m gonna exorcise the demons of my past
I’m gonna take the car and hit the open road
I’m feelin ready to just open up and go

And I just feel I can be anything
That I might I ever wish to be
And fantasize just what I wanna be
Make my wildest dream come true

I’m on my way
Out on my own again
I’m on my way
Out on the road again…”

I hope you enjoy it. As for me, I think I’ll open a good beer at lunch today and toast to the simple pleasure of enjoying life.

Cheers!

A bit of Friday fun, especially dedicated to cat owners everywhere.

Enjoy!

Arriving (late) to the launch party for a friend’s second book of poetry.

Great to see her become so prolific after so many years writing in secret.
