Just dropping in to say that I hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve, however you chose to celebrate it.

Here, it was very quiet and very nice. And we even got quite a dusting of snow during the night!!

The day is off to a nice, slow, easy start. I’m getting my brain situated within the upcoming projects for 2024.

Sometime today, I have a phone call with Sandra, to see where we stand with theatrical projects for the coming year. And then I’m going to spend some time with my own writing. And make a pot of soup!

Have a wonderful day, wherever you are in the world. Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

Here is my lying in bed on a dark snowy morning listening-music!! Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargeld, “A Quiet Life,” 2010. (English, 2013.) Enjoy.

A Quiet Life

Maybe this time,
Maybe this time I’ll outwit my past
I’ll throw away the numbers, the keys
And all the cards
Maybe I can carve out a living in the cold
At the outskirts of some city
I extinguish all my recent pasts
Become another man again

And have a quiet life

A quiet life for me
A quiet life
A quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone
An acquired life for me

I lost, I ran
I started once a new
In northern grey, in drizzling rain
In salted slush and bitter hail
But the order as always merciless
It wants to see me fail
So the hunter is now the hunted
Past voices call my name
I renounce my past to live again

A quiet life
A quiet life

A quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone

An acquired life for me

I thought I have been given
Another chance again
But heaven lies as usual
I repented but in vain
It tries to cheat me out of my good aim
Take away what I never really got

My quiet life

No quiet life for me
No quiet life
No quiet life
No quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone
No quiet life for me

Even if I have to straighten
There is a life for me
A qiuet life
A quiet life for me
(A quiet life…)
