Off to Paris

[marina]

hi guys! I'm leaving for Paris in a few hours until May 26... I'll be playing 4 shows there, but Nick & I will have some free time - a vacation of sorts.
Sometimes the music business gets to be too much for me (I really like the music part, but business - not so much), so I am really really looking forward to a break from the usual day-to-day music biz craziness.
We're staying in Paris with a friend - so we'll get to experience the city more on a local level, which is really cool!

Hugs to every one of you reading this.
Thank you for supporting my music.
I hope to come back refreshed and with lots of photos.

Didn't go to Thoiry. But I've been to the wonderful Wild Animal Park by San Diego in California, it's amazing.

The video's great, but.................

I have a Greek friend at work, perhaps you experienced this kind of thing when you were new to the country- he knows literal English quite well, but still some of our quaint American expressions stump him because he does not know the figurative meanings.....

once he asked me quite seriously " what does it mean when someone tells you they will do something " Next Day"? " In my country, it means that they will do it tomorrow, the next day. But here, people tell me that and I don't hear from them for several days, if at all?"

Leo, I said, here it means that they are procrastinating and may get around to it some time or other. Don't count on it really happening tomorrow. Now, we constantly joke with each other about " next day "!

( not meaning to be critical of you in any way here, just reminded
me of this silly little anecdote.)

Another one that threw him was when someone told him to " hold his horses"?????????

Next Day? Hold your horses?

Sounds like these guys are running on 'Indian Time' -- Ann Bodenhamer Martin told me that "in India, they don't always ride the same day they saddle-up!"

A Project without a Schedule -- is a Fantasy!
