We're hanging out on the bus, waiting for a replacement,since this one has broken down. You can see on everyone's faces that they will miss their home away from home. We've gotten so used to it…everyone has their own bed…their own personal space. Now, we're expecting a sit-down bus without beds, without microwave oven and without running water, for drinking washing and/or cooking. Separation anxiety is probably next…fortunately, the wait will be short, both for the replacement and the return of our beloved "Silver Streak." Both James and myself are busy w/our computers making MP3 conversions of some of our favorite tunes for later listening. Perfect for the times when you just have to 'get away from it all'. And of course, I'm writing to you, the thousands of Burning Spear fans worldwide. We've taken some time to critique last night's show and for the most part, everyone is in agreement that the show went well. The audience was hyped and ready for a real party, and they got what they were after.

Finally a bus has arrived to take us the remainder of the way to our rest stop. since we're traveling for more than a day, we'll cut the drive in half; part today and the rest tomorrow. That will allow us to rest and still get to Minneapolis on time. The time was basically used for rest and relaxation; James and I tossed the football around for a while and worked up a little sweat, while Virgo tried to remedy a problem with the satellite TV hookup; it's football season and neither Virgo, James or myself want to miss anything if we don't have to.

It turns out that Virgo is listening to one of the football games on the radio; he bought a clock radio a couple of days ago and it's coming in handy. What else is a football fan to do…
