Rich Chords and a Bit of Magic

Crisp the night air as Nathan and I traversed to the west end of Forest Park. Maybe the sun was still up and humidity still through the roof, but we went anyways. Free jazz said the poster, and I've been in the mood (no pun intended) for live jazz since my sneakers hit the STL sidewalks. Maurice Carnes with the STL Jazz Ensemble addressed the very diverse crowd, including myself, with one sweet melody and funky beat after another. I even heard a tune that I played in college. It ended after 10 with a song I feel harmonized with many people's hearts, written by Maurice for his mom - and no vocals, just very rich, compelling, piano chords. If you're in St. Louis, there's a good chance you'll catch me at one of the upcoming jazz performances.


More tech start-up company ideas were flung around as Nathan and I walked. I'm probably not at liberty to mention them yet in case one gets off the ground. To the dismay of Harry Potter haters and traditional fans, I'll likely see the latest film tomorrow. There's also a talk on Prayer at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, to support in anyway I can, the families in Japan at least. Sunday looks like a time to meet back up with Genevieve, and experience 100% humidity in the form of her free community pool.

Hope your weekend is exciting!
