So Long Washington

I can get used to this business of being on the road. We have been traveling for ten days. I sat in the back of Luxe Coffee House in Spokane as the sun went down & the blue lights came up across the performer's face & I said out loud to myself, "I want to do this for the rest of my life". I said it without fanfare. I just said it like a reflex. It came out the same way a yell would if someone struck my finger with a hammer or I took a punch to the chest. It was involuntary & as clear as the sky above the river snaking away through the trees.
