I've been burning both ends of the candle, and I'm finding that being tired is making me say really stupid things. It's not that I'm such a smart and eloquent person normally, although I sometimes can be still enough to be wise, but lately I find myself right at that leading edge of consciousness that is ragged and without reflection. That's a little scary at times - like losing-my-marbles kind of scary, but I know that it's just overextending myself and letting my tired brain lead me when I should get centered and approach each situation from a calm and peaceful place. I find that preparation and the right mindset is always the key to successful interaction. I also like to be spontaneous and in-the-moment, so there's a happy balance to find, but at least I have an awareness of where I can improve. And at least I know now when to keep quiet!
How about you? How do you deal with your stupid, tired brain?
So what am I up to this week? It's a busy one.
I'm writing this Sunday night because Monday morning I'm playing a wedding reception over lunch and then a show for rafting Scouts in the evening. It should be beautiful!
Then Thursday I'm at the Yellow Pine 6:30-8:30 for the barbecue. Last week was another great packed room with wonderful folks and a little rain. I expect this week to be just as grand! Call (719) 742-3528 for reservations.
I'm taking off Friday night so I can be up bright and early Saturday to make it to the top of the ski valley in Red River, NM, for a concert 11-1. This is part of the "Music on Top" series for the Red River Ski Area, and I'm really looking forward to it. It's a free concert at the Tip Restaurant deck - http://www.redriverskiarea.com/event/music-top-summer-music-series-2. There isn't a great deal of info here, so write me if you need more, and I'll find more.
Saturday I'm also doing a concert for past and current staff at Philmont
Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM, from 8-10 during the staff reunion weekend. If you're a Philmont person I'd love to see you!
Sunday I'm playing at 8 Mile Bar and Grill by the Royal Gorge 6:30-8:30 right after I play for another group of rafting Scouts. I had one of their juicy buffalo burgers this week, and I'm looking forward to trying other yummy entrees there! Come on out if you can!
I hope your summer is going well!
Best always,
Tom
