progress on the new piece

So far this is where I am:

• I'm toying with the idea of making the working theme of short poems. Kind of an ode to shortwindedness lol. I want to use poems like the cummings that I listed earlier and The Red Wheelbarrow by Robert Frost.
• It still will involve Male Choir, rainstick, and I'm thinking a harpish instrument (still looking for help with that last instrument)

So I need poem suggestions still, maybe some themes and instruments.

I spent some time at Bill Bateman's Bistro with some high school friends (including Allison, who might be coming to Tennessee for school). It's always good to catch up (and talk with people you didn't in school).

My mom and I bought each other gifts today. She bought me some shoes I wanted, and I bought her a Bluetooth headset for her phone. I was really glad to spend time with her (as with her working, we really don't get the one on one time as much anymore outside the house).
