misty morning hop

It's a misty drizzle this morning as I crank out Peace Sells after its title track.
I'm pretty groggy since I had no coffee before leaving. Obviously I don't move as fast in weather like this -- it's not that it's so hazardous but it's tougher for me to get my "footing" correct since the pedals can get sorta slippery.
I began reading Kerouac's Big Sur this morning though I'd promised myself I'd read On The Road first. I'm only a dozen pages in but his work reads like a journal only without the standard entries. One cool thing so far is that there are snippets and phrases I'm reading that conjure the music that inspired me to buy/read this in the first place. Having been to Big Sur, I feel as though I'm drawn there constantly and we'll see if this really puts me in its throes.
There are some joggers out here today which makes sense because it isn't "raining." Off to the right the water on the Hudson is high and brown and largely unappealing.
I had a great Friday as I went to see the Twilight Singers with a buddy and ate and drank at a Thai place around the corner. Off their new album, they played my favorite song ("The Beginning of the End") and omitted my least favorite ("Waves"). I really lucked out in that regard. I had been looking forward to the show and the night for a while and I think that's the last concert I've got on the calendar for a while. I have 3 Bway shows I'm very excited to attend by month's end so I want to hit the road as many times as possible.
It helps clear my head and keeps me in check but I must confess a little caffeine in the morning goes a long way. The only time I stopped was at the WFCs today. This weather doesn't bother me much but I'll be wary of it on the return ride.
Thank you for reading.
