i am currently sitting on my bed in the hotel in labrador city. tonight is round 4? 5? of the mokami players country tribute show and we've taken it on the road.... it's been a really fun experience doing the show. our practices are generally fun because now that we know all the songs most of it is just fine tuning things and improving - but we're basically just getting together to "jam" (my fav. word.. ha). it's quite the collection of people in the show ranging in ages from 12-60 and we've all travelled 'across the road' to see if anyone will come and see us here - away from home.
the drive here yesterday was beautiful - best experience yet over the road. it only took us 6.5 hours and the trees were gorgeous with their snow and frost covered branches. the snow and ice on the road also made things better because you couldn't tell where the pavement ended and the dirt road began... for the most part the road was equally good all the way across. now we're praying for a similar experience on the way back on sunday.
i drove with lesley, brandon, and philomena and we had a nice day learning a bit about each other - looking at the scenery, brandon watched some movies, and phil read and did puzzles. i just looked out the window for the entire 6.5 hours (cept for the collective 45 min i slept) and the day still flew by.
i really do love labrador. i'm realizing it more and more. could make for some interesting ideas come decision time later this spring.
oh well --- off to the "mall"
