About this time every year I retreat like danglers in the cold. I often feel a lot of guilt when my friends yowl and cuss at me for extracting myself from our active social scene. I have a very high ratio of introvert, however, and I must rest my soul.

I would like to make all the yowlers both loud and silent aware that my retreat is not personal toward any person. Retreating allows me to be better company when I do venture out. It's a good thing.

This weekend I get a little get-away. I'm a housesitter. I love these times when I can eat, surf the web, read, catch up on some of the weird music that's out there, get inspired to write my own stuff, watch cable, lay around, catch up on my laundry...I love this more than partying sometimes. I know that's difficult for some to comprehend.

Right now I'm finally checking out "RadioNOT" one of Mr Random's many creative projects. It is chaotic and inspiring. Today I record!
