Al Jarreau Making Things New

The following video is what I would like to do with my life--pure and utter freedom to freak out and have it fit in perfectly:

Life!!!

Life has been going up and down and around and around. I completed a painting for the first time in a long time, and things have picked up since then. I am going to be heading home for the holidays, so that shall be a nice little trip. Things on the farm are going well, and things with Flow are looking up (I think we are closer to figuring it all out, soon enough).

In the meantime, here is a video of the alcohol can stove I made from two soda pop cans--I am using denatured alcohol (about .8oz), and we boiled a full pot of coffee with it. Going to start using this little gem when camping--way lighter and more efficient than my whisper light gas stove.

The second video here is of Kurt Elling and Al Jarreau doing a little Vocalese version of Take Five. These two guys look like they are just having the best time--when is the last time you gazed into someone else's eyes and made noises and faces like that? We should start doing this more often--like every time you go to buy something at Walgreens, you have to get into a "Vocalese Scat" with the cashier, if you want your change--otherwise they keep the money. I think this would make for better living and good situations.
