I only got about 4 hours last night. and it looks like I&#8217;ll only get 5 tonight. I have to be at work early to give a talk and demo to a bunch of new summer hires&#8230; so I&#8217;ll make this short. Today was insanely busy.. one of those days when I forget that I&#8217;m not the same as I used to be and load up too much stuff to do.. Lots of fun and interesting stuff.. just too much of it. Thankfully I was able to catch most of Diane&#8217;s yoga class.. That was a good chill out exercise in an otherwise insane day.&nbsp; <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; To top it off I had a ticket to see Dark Star Orchestra tonight..&nbsp; Dark Star is IMHO the best Grateful Dead tribute band. They go around th e country playing entire Grateful Dead shows, song for song, note for note. It really is like seeing the Dead (but these guys might be better musicians). I never miss them when they come through.. &nbsp; I bought the ticket before considering the res of my day.. sounded like a good idea when I got it&#8230; so at around 8:30 I got back in the car and drove back to South&nbsp; Burlington.. I started to perk up as I walked into the show..&nbsp;&nbsp; I found thie bumper sticker appropriate outside a Dead cover show<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0208\/jun0208008.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">As always.. the band gave a great show&#8230; 2 songs in and I was transformed. live music is one of the best soul therapy&#8217;s I know.. Live music has away of taking me right into the moment.. I actually broke down during a couple of songs.. I was so happy and\/or sad to be listening to good music.. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0208\/jun0208009.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0208\/jun0208010.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0208\/jun0208011.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">At one point the music was screaming and everyone was dancing.. and I felt for that moemnt&nbsp; completely free&#8230; I tried to capture what it was like.. and strangely.. my camera seems to have gotten it about right.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0208\/jun0208013.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">If any of you are dead-heads..
